An overview of the mechanical properties of foams and periodic lattice materials
نویسنده
چکیده
Metallic foams and lattice materials are compared in terms of properties and underlying deformation mechanisms. Lattice materials can be made to possess mechanical properties which are similar to, or exceed, those of foams depending upon the nodal connectivity. Scaling laws are reviewed here for the Young’s modulus and yield strength of foams and lattice materials, and the damage tolerance of each class of material is discussed.

Effect of non-acoustic properties on the sound absorption of polyurethane foams
In this paper the influence of non-acoustic properties on the sound absorption coefficient of polyurethane foams as a porous medium is investigated. Biot’s equations with transfer matrix method, as the solution approach are employed to evaluate the sound absorption coefficient of selected polyurethane foams. The major issue is the dependency of non-acoustic properties on each other which makes ...
متن کاملThermal-insulation performance of low density polyethylene (LDPE) foams: Comparison between two radiation thermal conductivity models
The loss of energy especially in industrial and residential buildings is one of the main reasons of increased energy consumption. Improving the thermal insulation properties of materials is a fundamental method for reducing the energy losses. Polymeric foams are introduced as materials with excellent thermal insulation properties for this purpose. In the present study, a deep theoretical invest...
متن کاملMechanical properties of CNT reinforced nano-cellular polymeric nanocomposite foams
Mechanics of CNT-reinforced nano-cellular PMMA nanocomposites are investigated using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Firstly, static uniaxial stretching of bulk PMMA polymer is simulated and the results are compared with literature. Then, nano-cellular foams with different relative densities are constructed and subjected to static uniaxial stretching and obtained stress-strain cu...
متن کاملEffect of Variability in Micro-geometry of Polyurethane Foams on the Double Wall Transmission Loss
Propagation of waves in elastic porous media, e.g. polymeric foams, is described by Biot-Allard’s theory [1]. Two classes of characteristic parameters are needed to describe the porous media in this theory. First, non-acoustic parameters: porosity φ, thermal characteristic length Λ′, viscous characteristic length Λ, flow resistivity σ, and tortuosity α∞ which are used in Johnson-Champoux-Allard...
متن کاملFreeWiHR — LBM with Free Surfaces
Metal foams are interesting as lightweight materials that have an excellent combination of mechanical, thermal, and acoustic properties. However, the production process is currently not fully understood. Therefore, the goal of the FreeWiHR project is the development and high performance implementation of a model for simulating the formation process of metal foams based on the lattice Boltzmann ...
