Abstract

Air-filled open-cell polymeric foams are widely used for absorbing impact energy under various strain rates. Modeling their compression behavior under large deformation across a wide strain rate range remains a challenge, as the air pressure is dominated by viscous effect or inertial effect at different strain rates. In this study, the compression response of air-filled open-cell polyurethane (PU) foam is characterized across a wide strain rate range from 0.0001 s−1 to 5000 s−1. The plateau stress and energy absorption properties of the foam exhibit a power-law dependency on strain rate, showing lower rate sensitivity at quasi-static rates and increased sensitivity at high strain rates. To describe the observed rate sensitivity variation, the effect of airflow resistance is quantitatively modeled and a visco-hyperelastic constitutive model considering air pressure is developed. It shows that at high strain rates, the air pressure can constitute up to 30 % of the energy absorption contribution while it is relatively negligible at quasi-static strain rates, which significantly amplifies the difference in rate sensitivity between quasi-static and high strain rates. Furthermore, a simplified semi-empirical formula is proposed to rapidly estimate the air pressure in open-cell foams at high strain rates. This formula demonstrates the mechanical response transition from open-cell to closed-cell foams with increasing strain rates. This study is meaningful for understanding the dynamic response and the energy absorption capabilities of air or fluid filled open-cell foam.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field. Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media and including fracture, flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, model analysis, structural topology and numerical techniques. Interest extends to both inorganic and organic solids and structures.
