The research is a very broad investigation into the                        mechanics of powder consolidation, incorporating a large number                 of materials problems related to consolidation of metal, ceramic                and composite powders through the addition of heat, pressure and                shear stresses.  The research includes the use of 3-D finite                    element modelling of the stresses, and various models, from a                   wide range of sources, for the effects of pressure and stresses                 on densification.  The program also addresses the issue of                      microstructure control, i.e., the problem of coarsening in the                  latter stages of consolidation, and the various complications                   associated with the production of composite materials, consisting               of several discrete phases with significantly different behavior                during consolidation.  The research will also investigate the                   behavior of a great variety of metal, ceramic and composite                     materials through experimental measurements on materials during                 the consolidation process, and through characterization of                      microstructures at various stages of the consolidation process.
