Abstract

The stresses and strains in a diamond anvil cell device were investigated using a finite-element code NIKE2D for the case of an ultra-hard composite gasket material. The pressure distribution in a diamond-coated rhenium gasket was measured by the energy dispersive diffraction technique to 213 GPa and compared with the finite-element modeling results. We examine various models for the mechanical properties of diamond-coated rhenium gasket as well as for diamond failure for shear stresses exceeding 100 GPa. The elastic and plastic properties of gasket were varied such that a good agreement between the experimentally measured pressure distribution and the computational pressure profiles were obtained. As a result, we obtained the effective Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield stress for indented gasket, linear hardening modulus, and hardening parameter value for this layered ultra-hard composite gasket material. Future diamond design strategies for attainment of extreme high pressures using ultra-hard gasket materials are also discussed.
