F.E. simulations of closed-cells foams under extreme compression

The mechanical response of isotropic elastomeric closed-cell foams with Classical Voronoi microstructures is examined through three-dimensional finite element simulations. The study focuses on finite-strain uniaxial compression, complemented by infinitesimal-strain shear and hydrostatic loading. Random foam geometries with porosities between 77% and 95% and narrow pore-size distributions were generated by subtracting irregular Voronoi polyhedra, constructed from...
