Abstract
A three-dimensional finite element analysis of a powder compaction process was undertaken to determine the optimum manufacturing conditions for the complex cylinder block found in the hydraulic pump of an excavator. A porous material model was used to ascertain the material behaviour. The finite element predictions for both the density distribution and compaction load were in good agreement with experimental results.
