Finite element modeling of metal foam structures subject to compressive loading
A unit-cell model was developed for open metallic foams in order to predict their effective elastic moduli and the plastic collapse strengths. The model is based on the metallic ligament frame of tetrakaidecahedral shape. The frame structure of the unit-cell was analyzed using the finite element met...
