Abstract

A relationship between porosity and Young's modulus is obtained theoretically for porous materials made by powder metallurgy. The relationship is applicable to the entire range of porosity and is capable of treating the transition of pore structure from interconnected to isolated. The exact solution is presented graphically. An approximate solution with a wide applicable porosity range is given.
