Abstract

The paper concerns the nanopowder high-speed, 10410^4 - 10910^9 s1{}^{-1}, compaction processes modeling by a two-dimensional granular dynamics method. Nanoparticles interaction, in addition to known contact laws, included dispersive attraction, formation of a strong interparticle bonding (powder agglomeration) as well as the forces caused by viscous stresses in the contact region. For different densification rates, the "pressure vs. density" curves (densification curves) were calculated. Relaxation of the stresses after the compression stage was analyzed as well. The densification curves analysis allowed us to suggest the dependence of compaction pressure as a function of strain rate. It was found that in contrast to the plastic flow of metals, where the yield strength is proportional to the logarithm of the strain rate, the power-law dependence of applied pressure on the strain rate as pv1/4p\propto v^{1/4} was established for the modeled nanosized powders.
