In this contribution a new phenomenological model for pressure loaded foam materials is proposed. The presented relationship between compressive stresses and compressive strains is derived by using simple rheological models. The proposed model contains several parameters. The procedure of their identification and the influence of parameters on a curve shape are also explained. The accuracy of our model is tested and compared with other phenomenological models. These tests have been applied on aluminium and polyurethane foams.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
