Long-range geometrical correlations in two-dimensional foams
The statistical properties of two-dimensional, space-filling random cellular structures (foams, or their dual, random triangulations) in statistical equilibrium are obtained by maximum entropy inference and topological simulations. We show by maximum entropy inference that for a broad class of foams (shell-structured, including three-sided cell inclusions), all two-cell topological correlators ...
متن کاملStructure of random monodisperse foam.
The Surface Evolver was used to calculate the equilibrium microstructure of random monodisperse soap froth, starting from Voronoi partitions of randomly packed spheres. The sphere packing has a strong influence on foam properties, such as E (surface free energy) and (average number of faces per cell). This means that random foams composed of equal-volume cells come in a range of structures ...
متن کاملEffect of Fe additive on plastic deformation for crush-boxes with closed-cell metal foams, Part I: Al-composite foam compression response
AbstractIn this paper, we investigate effect of Fe–intermetallic compounds on plastic deformation of closed-cell composite Aluminum Foam as filler of thin-walled tubes. However, deformation of the Aluminum foam-filled thin-walled tubes as crushed-box will be presented in Part (II). Composite foams of AlSi7SiC3 and AlSi7SiC3-(Fe) as closed cell were synthesized by powder metallurgy foaming metho...
متن کاملObservation of Stacking Fault Tetrahedral in TWIP Steel
Low stacking fault energy face centered cubic (FCC) materials contain characteristic defect structures. Stacking fault tetrahedral are one of those rare structures that occur under special experimental conditions. For the first time, stacking fault tetrahedral were observed in Fe-30Mn-3Al-3Si twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel. Their presence resulted from a quenching heat treatment.
متن کاملCrushing Analysis of Empty and Foam-Filled Cylindrical and Conical Corrugated Composite Tubes
In the present article, a numerical study is performed to investigate the crushing behavior of cylindrical and conical corrugated composite tubes. Different aluminum foams are applied to the proposed structures in order to offer an excellent energy absorption capacity. The crushing behavior of tubes are evaluated in terms of two parameters: SEA (specific energy absorption) and CFE (crush force ...
