Priority areas for future research identified by Dienet

Abstract

The European Dienet project addressed modelling of die compaction for a range of materials. This was undertaken through three generic case studies. In the course of the work, potential areas for future research were identified. The views of the members of the Dienet group were canvassed and there was broad agreement that two areas are of the highest priority: modelling of fill, flow, transfer and low pressure compaction, including validation techniques; and modelling of cracking, including validation techniques.
