ELASTIC STRESS-STRAIN RELATION FOR SPHERE ARRAYS UNDERGOING INITIAL STAGE SINTERING. Conference Paper

abstract

• An analytical model for predicting the elastic constants for isotropic random sphere arrays is described. The model is based on the Hertz contact theory and accounts for the restructuring (neck growth) associated with initial stage sintering. The stress-strain relation is incremental since the stiffness depends on the loads at sphere contacts. As part of the model development, relationships are given for the elastic constants of an isotropic aggregate consisting of orthotropic parts.
