i am going to model powder compaction process using unit cell approach. i have assumed a BCC lattice structure for the powder. how to mesh a sphere? want some relevant paper.
I have used the Kawakita/Ludde model in my studies and found it useful.There are other models also available. I would recommend look at the articles listed by Florian Glodeanu above. The paper by Ogbonna and fleck is very useful and practical.
Kind regards and hope these models give you good correlations.
