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)). Słowa kluczowe: discrete element method, finite element method, viscoplasticity, adaptive meshing Afiliacje autorów:
