The numerical modelling of the stress-strained state of diamond anvil cell components

Abstract

The method of numerical modelling of the behaviour of main components (anvils and deformable gasket) in diamond anvil cells (DAC) in the process of pressure generation has been developed and realized in the form of programs packages. The optimization of the geometry and loading conditions for an anvil was conducted in line with the multilevel factor plan of major effects (MFPME). A combination of optimizing factors allowing to obtain the theoretically predicted pressure of 465 GPa has been found, the value that by 2.7 times higher than that obtained on anvils at an analogous external pressure distribution [1] and the same diamond strength.
