[HTML][HTML] Impact of material processing and deformation on cell morphology and mechanical behavior of polyurethane and nickel foams

A Burteau, F N'Guyen, JD Bartout, S Forest… - International Journal of …, 2012 - Elsevier
The cell morphology and mechanical behavior of open-cell polyurethane and nickel foams
are investigated by means of combined 3D X-ray micro-tomography and large scale finite …

Skeleton-and-bubble model of polyether-polyurethane elastic open-cell foams for finite element analysis at large deformations

T Sabuwala, G Gioia - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2013 - Elsevier
We formulate a new micromechanical model of elastic open-cell (EOC) foams. In this model,
the usual skeleton of open-cell foams is supplemented by fitting a thin-walled bubble within …

On the load-bearing efficiency of open-cell foams: A comparison of two architectures related to two processes

A Rossoll, A Mortensen - Scripta Materialia, 2013 - Elsevier
Using a simple beam element, this study estimates the elastic stiffness of two isotropic open-
cell foam architectures that approximate, respectively, the space between tightly packed fluid …

Configurational phases in elastic foams under lengthscale-free punching

T Sabuwala, X Dai, G Gioia - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of …, 2016 - Elsevier
We carry out experiments with brick-like specimens of elastic open-cell (EOC) foams of three
relative densities. Individual specimens may be “tall”(height= width= depth) or “short”(2 …
