isostatic pressing of petroleum coke powder

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

hi, I have headaches recently.
I want to simulation the isostatic pressing process of the petroleum coke powder.
Specific as follows:
The elastic rubber sleeve which has a hollow cylinder serves as the flexible mold. And the petroleum coke powders fill in the rubber sleeve. We put isostatic pressure on the elastic rubber sleeve. The total volume will shrink. When the pressure eliminates, the ruuber sleeve can restorable, but the petroleum coke powder will become a solid blocky structure. ( The density of petroleum coke grows larger, but the volume grow samller. the rubber sleeve and the blocky structure separate. )
A kind-hearted man gave the following advice: Using the Poroelasticity, Solid Mechanics and Moving Mesh application models. The Poroelasticity simulations the deformation of petroleum coke powders; the Solid Mechanics simulations the deformation of the flexible mold; and the Moving Mesh simulations the interface changes between the petroleum coke powders and the flexible mold.
But I think the poroelasticity can't simulation the the deformation of petroleum coke powders. because the petroleum coke isn't the elastic.
I look forward to your good suggestions.
Thank you very much
