Abstract
Abstract A new model for monosized particle packing is developed in this study in simulating CIP powder compaction. The model uses a central growth method by which particles are placed from a central particle outwards until a specified container is filled. The simulation program is able to generate a particle packing of 5000 particles with characteristics that are similar to experimental results with significantly short computational time. A particle packing with a high occurrence of contacts among particles is effectively simulated using this model. It is shown that this work is an improvement in predicting the coordination number of the compact compared with the predictions of previous models. The average coordination number predicted by this model is 7·0 compared to 6·0–6·5 obtained by other simulations.
