The stresses are induced by the external pressure applied to the cast and developed due to thermal loading. The effect of the stresses is considered as a second order effect by means of investigating the influence of the ‘geometric’ or ‘initial stresses’ stiffness matrix on the response of the cast. The problem formulation is done in the updated Lagrangian (UL) frame. An implicit time integration scheme is applied to solve the transient thermomechanical problem in a staggered form. The constitutive mechanical model is elasto-viscoplastic with hardening incorporated with a Mises yield function. The finite element method is employed and a few 3D numerical examples are presented.

The present numerical work is motivated to provide an insight into the mechanical behaviour of the particle deformation of the excipient binder. In the present study pregelatinised starch is selected, which is known to behave in a ductile manner during compaction. An elasto-viscoplastic material model has been selected in the present study to simulate the deformation behaviour of the pregelatinised starch. Elasto-viscoplastic model 1S chosen because all the plastic deformation exhibits rate-dependency to some extent, and it is a well-developed model for simulating non-linear deformation which has been studied for four decades (Perzyna (1966), Zabaras and Arif (l992)).
