Evaluation of the Elastic Properties of Highly Porous Alumina Foams using Finite Element Analysis

In this work, a two-dimensional approach is considered in the evaluation of the elastic properties of an alumina foam exhibiting a porosity of around 87%. Preliminary experimental procedures were performed for the determination of the Young's modulus. The stiffness was evaluated with the help o...

Description
Summary:In this work, a two-dimensional approach is considered in the evaluation of the elastic properties of an alumina foam exhibiting a porosity of around 87%. Preliminary experimental procedures were performed for the determination of the Young's modulus. The stiffness was evaluated with the help of microstructural models consisting of regular structures composed of tessellated patterns of different cell shapes (hexagons, circles, octagons/squares). The experimental data was compared with the numerical results.
