On the quasi-static and dynamic crushing of random foams

Lightweight cellular materials such as foams exhibit excellent energy absorption characteristics and are widely used for impact mitigation in a variety of applications. In this study a modeling framework is developed in order to investigate the crushing behavior of Al-alloy open-cell foams under qua...
