Finite element analysis of aluminium foams under compressive loading
This thesis is concerned with developing numerical models to predict the mechanical behaviour of closed-cell aluminium (AI) foams under uniaxial loading. Many of the existing models produce responses which are very stiff initially and fall sharply after an initial peak (Type-II response). In contras...
