Abstract
Progressive collapse deformation mechanisms in Rohacell-51WF foam during uniaxial compression has been studied. Measures of a macroscopic engineering strain are identified. The elastic and plastic parts of a macroscopic engineering strain can be predicted by using the compression failure strain, lock-up strain, and time dependent elastic and plastic parts of lock-up strain, which are material parameters. Identification of strain measures in a uniaxial compression test is essential to get material parameters for an elastoplastic model. The viscoelastic recovery property of Rohacell-51WF foam is also described.
