Description
Summary:Properties of cellular solids are a direct consequence of their complex microstructure. Linking properties to structure will lead to an understanding of how these materials can be engineered for given applications. Three dimensional images of a number of industrial cellular foam morphologies are experimentally acquired via micro‐CT; structural characteristics and physical properties are calculated directly on the images. Comparisons with common empirical and theoretical estimates and experimental data are encouraging.
