“…The mechanical behavior of the powder was modeled using Drucker-Prager Cap (DPC) model. The parameters required to conduct the simulation were determined as already described in the literature (Brewin et al, 2008;Diarra et al, 2012;Han et al, 2008;Mazel et al, 2012). The values for the model parameters for MCC powder were those proposed by Diarra et al (2013).…”
