Figure 2. 21. Unit cell geometry and layered structure of Al foam simulation.<br />

(Source: Meguid, et al. 2002)<br />

The mechanical behavior of an Al foam was investigated at quasi-static and high<br />

strain rates under hydrostatic compression and tension,(Peroni, et al. 2008). Dynamic<br />

tests were performed using Taylor impact tester and Split-Hopkinson pressure bar. It<br />

was reported that yield stress values at quasi-static and dynamic uniaxial compression<br />

over a vast range of relative densities showed no dependence on the strain rate (Figure<br />

2.23).<br />
