Abstract

This paper investigates the prediction of some common mechanical properties of sintered pure titanium. Tensile strength was determined using the radial crush strength method and the fracture toughness tests were performed using disk-shaped compact tension specimens. Empirical models that predict the mechanical behaviour of sintered titanium are reported in this paper and compared with other models like those of Hashin-Strikman, Fleck and Smith, Griffithset al. and Nielson.
