Hyperelastic and hyperfoam constitutive models are calibrated for rigid polyurethane (PU)
foam exhibiting the characteristics of both soft foam and rubber. Test data from uniaxial and …

In this paper, a novel approach is used to represent the viscoelastic behavior of cross-linked
polyethylene foams at high strain rate: a compressible hyperelastic material model is …

A test methodology was developed to examine polyurethane foam specimens up to 25 mm
thick at strain rates ranging from quasi-static to high rate dynamic (2,600 1/s) at high strain …

Under the service conditions of nuclear engineering applications, silicone rubber foams
should endure radiation of γ rays accompanied by compression and shear loading. In this …

Combined shear—compression tests and simulations were performed on a closed-cell
aluminum foam over a wide range of loading angles in order to probe their yield behaviors …

A new test method was proposed and applied for studying the biaxial tensile behaviors of
hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellant at high strain rates. The biaxial tensile …

This paper presents the semi-layerwise analysis of structural sandwich plates with through-
width delamination. The mechanical model of rectangular plates is based on the method of …

The first-, second-and third-order shear deformation plate theories are applied in this work to
model thick rectangular sandwich plates with through-width delamination. The models are …

Polymer foams are widely used in human body protection but require combination with
impact-resistant materials for adequate performance. Inspired by walnut shells, this study …

The most widely used approach to model the large strain elastic response of polymer foams
in a finite element (FE) simulation is the use of the Ogden–Hill compressible hyperelastic …
