The Dynamic Compressive Response of an Open-Cell Foam Impregnated With a Non-Newtonian Fluid

The response of a reticulated, elastomeric foam filled with colloidal silica under dynamic compression is studied. Under compression beyond local strain rates on the order of 1 s[superscript −1], the non-Newtonian, colloidal silica-based fluid undergoes dramatic shear thickening and then proceeds to...
