The use of polymer foams is becoming increasingly important due to the attainable weight
reduction and value‐added properties. The development of foam structures is a popular …

Polymer foams are widely used as cushioning and impact protective materials, while the
single foam is susceptible to densification by concentrating pressure at the point of impact …

In this paper, we created a general mathematical equation for the cushion curves of
polymeric foams, using the measurement results of drop weight impact tests on …

We developed an image processing algorithm and applied it on high-speed camera
recordings to characterize the deformation response of three-layered density-graded foam …

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 …

Recycling of crosslinked plastics is an intractable challenge due to their very limited
amenability to mechanical reprocessing. While a variety of chemical recycling methods have …

The strike force in combat sports strongly depends on the protective material's mechanical
properties and energy absorption capacity. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the effect …

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a highly all-important material renowned for its
exceptional physical and chemical properties, and it is extensively utilized in various …

Polymer foaming is a popular development objective due to the advantageous properties
that the cellular structure can provide compared to solid materials. If foams are subjected to …

A method is described to automate the design of foam packaging cushions to ensure that the
packaged product does not fail when subjected to drop**. This methodology includes …
