The goal of this PhD work is to develop a numerical modeling approach of the compaction of powders composed of crushable particles in the framework of the Contact Dynamics method in view of application to the manufacture process of nuclear fuel. The particles are modeled as cohesive aggregates of potential fragments (cells) of irregular polyhedral shape. Using this Bonded Cell Method, we performed a parametric investigation of the strength of particles with respect to the geometrical and mechanical model parameters. Our results reveal two regimes and a power-law scaling of the compressive strength as a function of the ratio between tangential adherence and normal adhesion between cells. We optimized the model parameters for the uniaxial co...
