Effects of impactor shape on the deformation and energy absorption of closed cell aluminium foams under low velocity impact

Effects of impactor shape on the deformation and energy absorption of closed cell aluminium foams under low velocity impact

The low-velocity impact response of closed-cell aluminium foams using various shaped indenters has been investigated. Impact tests were conducted using an instrumented drop-tower with flat, hemispherical, conical and truncated-conical indenter at impact energies ranging from 46.8 J to 105 J. The eff...
