Abstract | ||||
ABSTRACT Three dimension (3-D) Voronoi diagram is used to model open-celled Aluminum foam structures. This model simulates the compression response of open-celled Aluminum foam. Models of aluminium foam with different relative density and different cell regularities are used in simulations using ABAQUS. Finite element analysis (FEA) has been carried out to simulate the compression process on Aluminum Foam up to 15% strain. Stress-strain curve relation is predicted for each model. The results show good agreement with published experimental and mathematical modeling works. The developed model could be accepted as a virtual platform for modeling open-celled Aluminum foam structure. | ||||
