Abstract
A simple model for analysis of shear band development in uniformly strained solids is used to study the possibility of flow localization during metal powder compaction. Earlier analyses for a metal powder with full interparticle cohesion have predicted no localization. Here, a material model is used, in which the value of a cohesion factor is used to represent either cohesionless powder or powder with a certain amount of cohesion. It is found that localization under compaction depends strongly on the cohesion factor, the stress state, and the magnitude of an initial imperfection.
