Abstract: Compressed open-cell solid foams frequently exhibit spatially inhomogeneous distributions of local stretch. The theoretical aspects of this deformation habit have not been clearly elucidated. Here ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of the combined experimental investigation and digital image correlation (DIC) analysis of the fatigue failure of open cell aluminum foams. Compression–compression ...

Abstract: In this study, a finite element model of a vertebral body was used to study the load-bearing role of the two components (shell and core) under compression. The model of the vertebral body ...

Abstract: A nonlinear micromechanical model for two-dimensional irregular hexagonal foams has been developed that allows for anisotropy in morphology and/or material. Based upon the orientation, cross section, ...
