On the crack path under mixed mode loading on PUR foams

In this paper are presented the crack initiation angles obtained in polyurethane (PUR) foams under mixed mode loading. Closed cell rigid PUR foams having three different densities 100, 145, and 300 kg/m3 were investigated. Experiments were performed using Asymmetric Semi-Circular Bend and Single E...
