Investigation of the Mechanical Behavior of Open-Cell Ni Foams by Experimental and FEM Procedures

Given the wide range of potential applications the study of the mechanical behavior of metal foams is considered imperative. The elastoplastic behavior of a Nickel open‐cell foam is investigated under tension loads. X‐ray tomography 2D images were used to determine the foam 3D structure in order to...

Description
Summary:Given the wide range of potential applications the study of the mechanical behavior of metal foams is considered imperative. The elastoplastic behavior of a Nickel open‐cell foam is investigated under tension loads. X‐ray tomography 2D images were used to determine the foam 3D structure in order to build a FE model simulating the micro‐tension conditions of the foam.
