Dynamic compressive behaviour of cellular materials is crucial to their applications in
energy absorption, ballistic mitigation and blast/impact protection. The recent research …

The compression behavior of hollow architectured structures obtained by additive
manufacturing was investigated in this work. Two face-centered cubic structures with the …

Abstract Electron Beam Melting (EBM) as a means of Additive Manufacturing (AM), is of
interest for the fabrication of intricate geometries for cellular materials in areas where …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) finite element models based on computed tomography
(CT) images are developed to investigate the strain-rate effect on the compressive …

In this work, the effects of cell size and cell wall thickness variations on the compressive and
shear strengths of closed-cell foams were investigated using Laguerre tessellation models. It …

We present a comprehensive experimental study of the variation in apparent unloading
elastic modulus of polymer (largely elastic), aluminium (largely plastic) and fibre-reinforced …

Polymethacrylimide (PMI) foams own the highest specific stiffness and strength of all foams.
In situ x-ray micro computed tomography (CT) is used to map three-dimensional (3D) …

Foams exhibit a low-density characteristic and possess a notable level of structural rigidity.
Consequently, they are frequently observed in natural formations such as wood and bones …

This study presents an imaged-based shell modelling strategy for closed cell metallic foams
exploiting X-ray Computed Tomography scans, with its illustration on ALCORAS® foams …

This paper aim to establish a framework for finite element modelling of the compressive and
shear responses of closed-cell foams using computed tomography images, and to explore …
