Since the early 2000s, FEA has been utilized together with various constitutive material models in a quest for a deeper understanding and unraveling of the complex mechanisms that govern powder compression. The objective of the present review paper is to highlight the potential and feasibility of FEA for implementation in pharmaceutical tableting in order to elucidate important aspects of the process, namely: stress and density distributions, temperature evolution, effect of punch shape on tablet formation, effect of friction, and failure of the tablet under stress. The constitutive models and theoretical background governing the above aspects of tablet compression and tablet fracture under diametral loading are also presented. In the last sections, applications of FEA in pharmaceutical tableting are demonstrated by many examples that prove its utilization and point out further potential applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pharmaceutics14030673","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,20]],"date-time":"2022-03-20T21:34:27Z","timestamp":1647812067000},"page":"673","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Finite Element Analysis and Modeling in Pharmaceutical Tableting"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8682-4371","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioannis","family":"Partheniadis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Pharmacy, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4692-0916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vasiliki","family":"Terzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering, Institute of Static and Dynamic of Structures, School of Civil Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1690-1885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioannis","family":"Nikolakakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Pharmacy, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"671","article-title":"Density-pressure relationships in powder compaction","volume":"221","author":"Heckel","year":"1961","journal-title":"Trans.
