Polymeric foams have good capacity of absorbing energy in compression but are brittle in
tension. Linear elastic fracture mechanics is successfully applied to assess the integrity of …

Polymeric foams have found their way into different industry sectors due to their excellent
thermal and mechanical properties. Polymeric foams might undergo large deformation at …

The application of coral coarse aggregate-sea sand seawater concrete (CSSC) in offshore
engineering construction is one of the effective measures to realize the rational allocation of …

A series of uniaxial and triaxial experiments are performed to analyze the mechanical
behavior of foamed concrete (FC). The experimental results indicate that for uniaxial …

Considering the lack of abundant experimental data on metal foams under tensile triaxial
loadings, characterization of the yield surface of metallic foam is controversial. In this paper …

To promote the application of microcapsule-based self-healing concrete in engineering
structures, it is important to study the mechanical behaviour under complex stress …

A new yield criterion is proposed for transversely isotropic solid foams. Its derivation is
based on the hypothesis that the yielding in foams is driven by the total strain energy …

A robust understanding and modeling of the yield behavior in solid foams under complex
stress states is essential to design and analysis of optimal structures using these lightweight …

The yield surfaces of several honeycombs with tunable Poisson's ratio, ie hexagonal
honeycomb, augmented hexagonal honeycomb, re-entrant honeycomb, and augmented re …

The ellipticity involved in the Deshpande–Fleck foam model describing the constitutive
behaviour of cellular materials was usually considered to be constant, but some very …
