A part of a complete expert system for powder technology is presented. This part of the system deals with the powder selection according to predetermined recommended or required material properties, and specific powder characteristics. Then, determining the most common powder production (i.e. processing) method, which satisfies the specified powder requirements for a specific application. For t...

A predictive model for powder compaction has been developed that incorporates unprecedented flexibility to design powder press tooling and reliable powder pressing processes. Sandia’s finite element (FE) toolkit comprises the heart of the modeling software, and a unique concept was developed to design a variable dimension and parameter template to easily build/design dies/components on a comput...

the dried fruit of terminalia chebula is widely used for its laxative properties. the objective of the present study was to examine the flowability and compressibility of terminalia chebula fruit powder, subsequently developing its tablet formulations by utilizing wet granulation and direct compression technology. initial studies on flowability and compressibility revealed that the fruit powder...

Rare earth ions play an important role in modern technology as optically active elements in solid-state luminescent materials. In many of these materials, interactions between the electronic band states of the host crystal and the rare earth ion’s localized 4f and 4f 5d states influence the optical properties of materials. This paper reports the mechanoluminescence (ML) induced by impulsive exc...
