Theoretical explanation and regulation method for the edge effect in the sintered joints of metal nanoparticles by Guannan Yang, Zebo Li, Zhihao Zhang, Junyi Lu, Yu Zhang, Guanghan Huang, Tianshuo Zhao, Chengqiang Cui

“…A theoretical model is proposed to explain the edge effect observed in sintered metal nanoparticle joints, which are characterized by a relatively loose and porous structure near the joint edges. By modeling the metal particle slurry as a granular system that follows the Mohr-Coulomb criterion, an exponential stress distribution is predicted, with high pressure at the center and low pressure at the edges, which reasonably explains the origin of the edge effect. …”
