Evaluation of compaction equations and prediction using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system on compressibility behavior of AA 6061100−x–x wt.% TiO2 nanocomposites prepared by mechanical alloying

Nanocrystallite/nanocomposite powders of AA 6061100 − x–x wt.% TiO2 (x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12) prepared by mechanical alloying and compacted at room temperature have been used for the present investigation. Compaction behavior of post-compacts as a function of compaction pressure and the nano titania content in the nanocrystallite matrix powder was investigated using several powder compaction equations (empirical form) including both linear...
