Static Mechanical Properties of Expanded Polypropylene Crushable Foam

Static Mechanical Properties of Expanded Polypropylene Crushable Foam

Closed-cell expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam is commonly used in car bumpers for the purpose of absorbing energy impacts. Characterization of the foam’s mechanical properties at varying strain rates is essential for selecting the proper material used as a protective structure in dynamic loading app...
