Effect of microstructure of closed cell foam on strength and effective stiffness

This research is concerned with the modeling and failure analysis of closed cell foam with various scales of microstructure that is disordered due to defects. This foam material is used for the forward bipod closeout on the space shuttle external tank. Three dimensional finite element simulations of...
