Compaction Processes

The dynamic compaction processes of copper powder which was filled in two layers into a die and subjected to solid punch impaction were investigated experimentally in order to assess the effect of different initial density distributions of the powder on the compaction process. The compaction experiments were performed for two situations of layer arrangement: in the first situation the upper layer had a lower uniform initial density distribution than the lower layer and in the second this order was reversed. The processes were photographed for the two situations of layer arrangement using a high speed camera in order to analyze the movement of powder medium and punch, the propagation of shock and elastic waves in the powder medium and density distributions. The pressure on the plug supporting the medium in the die was also measured so that the analysis of the photograph would be facilitated. The two compaction processes observed and analyzed differed considerably, but the green density distributions had only a slight difference. The compaction process obtained for the first situation of layer arrangement agreed well with the theoretical prediction reported previously by the authors. The compaction process for the second situation also agreed with the theoretical result, indicating that the amounts of internal energy dissipation during the two processes differ only slight.

Initial Density Distribution

In the paper presented a dynamic compaction of a two-layered powder medium is analyzed. A two-layered medium is used because it is the simplest form of layered medium available. The layers are differentiated not in terms of different powdered materials but rather a difference in terms of initial-density (initial specific volume) distribution, that is a higher initial density distribution and a lower initial density distribution. Again for these initial density distributions, two forms of arrangement can be considered; for the first situation, the layer to be impacted has a lower initial density distribution, while for the second situation the arrangement is reversed. The objective of this paper, therefore, is to examine the effect that the initial density sequence has on the compaction process and on the green density of a layered powder medium, especially in terms of shock wave and elastic wave influence.

Gyratory Compaction

The compaction of asphalt mixture is crucial to the mechanical properties and the maintenance of the pavement. However, the mix design, which based on the compaction properties, remains largely on empirical data. We found difficulties to relate the aggregate size distribution and the asphalt binder properties to the compaction behavior in both the field and laboratory compaction of asphalt mixtures. In this paper, we would like to propose a simple hybrid model to predict the compaction of asphalt mixtures. In this model, we divided the compaction process into two mechanisms: (i) visco-plastic deformation of an ordered thickly-coated granular assembly, and (ii) the transition from an ordered system to a disordered system due to particle rearrangement. This model could take into account both the viscous properties of the asphalt binder and grain size distributions of the aggregates. Additionally, we suggest to use the discrete element method to understand the particle rearrangement during the compaction process. This model is calibrated based on the SuperPave gyratory compaction tests in the pavement lab. In the end, we compared the model results to experimental data to show that this model prediction had a good agreement with the experiments, thus, had great potentials to be implemented to improve the design of asphalt mixtures.
