Modeling the dynamic response of visco-elastic open-cell foams

This article introduces a mesoscopic formulation for modeling the dynamic response of visco-elastic, open-cell solid foams. The effective material response is obtained by enforcing on a representative 3D unit cell the principle of minimum action for dissipative systems. The resulting model accounts explicitly for the foam topology, the elastic and viscous properties of the cell wall, and the inertial effects arising from non-affine motion within the cells. The microinertial effects become significant in retarding the foam collapse during exceedingly high strain-rate loading. As an application example, a heterogenous case of compressive deformation at high strain rate is simulated utilizing the present model as a constitutive update in a non-linear finite element analysis code. This FEM simulation shows the ability of the model to capture the progressive foam collapse during the dynamic compression as observed in experimental studies. Using the microscopic model, the inertial and viscous strain-rate effects are investigated through the foam density, viscosity, and relative density. Based on the physics incorporated into the local cell model, we provide insight into the physical mechanisms responsible for the experimentally observed strain-rate effects on the behavior of dynamically loaded foam materials.     

Full-field characterization of mechanical behavior of polyurethane foams

The foam material of interest in this investigation is a rigid closed-cell polyurethane foam PMDI with a nominal density of 20 pcf (320 kg/m³). Three separate types of compression experiments were conducted on foam specimens. The heterogeneous deformation of foam specimens and strain concentration at the foam–steel interface were obtained using the 3-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) technique. These experiments demonstrated that the 3D-DIC technique is able to obtain accurate and full-field large deformation of foam specimens, including strain concentrations. The experiments also showed the effects of loading configurations on deformation and strain concentration in foam specimens. These DIC results provided experimental data to validate the previously developed viscoplastic foam model (VFM). In the first experiment, cubic foam specimens were compressed uniaxially up to 60%. The full-field surface displacement and strain distributions obtained using the 3D-DIC technique provided detailed information about the inhomogeneous deformation over the area of interest during compression. In the second experiment, compression tests were conducted for cubic foam specimens with a steel cylinder inclusion, which imitate the deformation of foam components in a package under crush conditions. The strain concentration at the interface between the steel cylinder and the foam specimen was studied in detail. In the third experiment, the foam specimens were loaded by a steel cylinder passing through the center of the specimens rather than from its end surface, which created a loading condition of the foam components similar to a package that has been dropped. To study the effects of confinement, the strain concentration and displacement distribution over the defined sections were compared for cases with and without a confinement fixture.

Characterization of Polyurethane Rubber at High Deformation Rates

Polyurethane rubber materials have widespread usage in large-deformation energy absorption and dissipation applications. Accurate design modeling with these materials requires an appropriate constitutive material model that accounts for both static (low strain rate) and dynamic (high strain rate) responses. A common modeling approach is the use of hyper-viscoelastic formulations, which couple quasi-static hyperelastic with dynamic viscoelastic responses and describe the material response over a range of deformation rates. In this work the effectiveness of two models, the Modified Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic and Non-Linear Hyper-Viscoelastic, are investigated to describe the high-rate behaviour of two different grades of polyurethane rubber. From quasi-static, uniaxial compression tests, a Rivlin hyperelastic formulation was found to describe the low-rate response well. High-rate, uniaxial compressions test were performed using a Polymeric Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (PSHPB), supported by high-speed photography. In general, it was found that the Modified Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic model did not fit the experimental data well due to its limited non-linear terms, while the Non-Linear Hyper-Viscoelastic provided very good agreement.     

Development of the polymeric split hopkinson bar technique

A compression version of the split Hopkinson bar with pressure bars and a striker, which are made of Plexiglas (a material with low density and velocity of sound) is developed. The technique is designed to determine stress—strain diagrams under high strain rates of highly deformable materials with low density and strength, such as plastics, foams, and rubbers. Dynamic stress—strain curves in compression for spheroplastic, foam plastic, and rubber are presented, which were obtained using the technique developed.     

Experimentally separating fluid and matrix contributions to polymeric foam behavior

A new experimental procedure to determine the loads carried by the fluid (air) and matrix components of a polymeric foam is presented. Testing is carried out in a sealed chamber equipped with a differential pressure transducer to measure changes in the chamber air pressure and a load cell to measure the load applied to the specimen. Multiexposure photographs are used to determine lateral specimen expansion at various degrees of compression. From these data the amount of air trapped and compressed within the foam can be determined. Theoretical analyses suggest and tests confirm that for the strain rates used here the trapped air undergoes isothermal compression. By treating compression of the air trapped in the specimen as an isothermal process, an equivalent volume-average pore pressure can be determined, and the load carried by the fluid phase calculated. The load carried by the polymer matrix component is the difference between the total response and the fluid component. The energy input into each phase during compression can then be calculated.The effectiveness of the procedure is demonstrated by displacement-controlled compression tests of 50×100×100-mm semi-rigid, polyurethane foam specimens. Two types of foam were compressed to 75-percent strain at nominal strain rates of 1.4/s and 14/s. Calculated values show a high degree of repeatability.     

Characterization of Anisotropic Polymeric Foam Under Static and Dynamic Loading

An orthotropic polymeric foam with transverse isotropy (Divinycell H250) used in composite sandwich structures was characterized at various strain rates. Uniaxial experiments were conducted along principal material axes as well as along off-axis directions under tension, compression, and shear to determine engineering constants, such as Young??s and shear moduli. Uniaxial strain experiments were conducted to determine mathematical stiffness constants, i. e., C _ij . An optimum specimen aspect ratio for these tests was selected by means of finite element analysis. Quasi-static and intermediate strain rate tests were conducted in a servo-hydraulic testing machine. High strain rate tests were conducted using a split Hopkinson Pressure Bar system built for the purpose using polymeric (polycarbonate) bars. The polycarbonate material has an impedance that is closer to that of foam than metals and results in lower noise to signal ratios and longer loading pulses. It was determined by analysis and verified experimentally that the loading pulses applied, propagated along the polycarbonate rods at nearly constant phase velocity with very low attenuation and dispersion. Material properties of the foam were obtained at three strain rates, quasi-static (10^?4 s^?1), intermediate (1 s^?1), and high (10³ s^?1) strain rates. A simple model proposed for the Young??s modulus of the foam was in very good agreement with the present and published experimental results.

A Case Study on the Use of Fractional Derivatives: The Low-Frequency Viscoelastic Uni-Directional Behavior of Polyurethane Foam

A fractional derivative model of dissipative effects is combined with a nonlinear elastic model to model the response of polyurethane foam in quasi-static compression tests. A system identification method is developed based on a separation of the elastic and viscoelastic parts of the response, which is possible because of symmetries in the imposed deformation time-history. Simulations are used to evaluate the proposed identification method when noise is present in the response. The system identification technique is also applied with some success to experimental data taken from several compression experiments on two types of polyurethane foam blocks.

The elastic–plastic behaviour of foam under shock loading

An experimental investigation of the elastic–plastic nature of shock wave propagation in foams was undertaken. The study involved experimental blast wave and shock tube loading of three foams, two polyurethane open-cell foams and a low-density polyethylene closed-cell foam. Evidence of precursor waves was observed in all three foam samples under various compressive wave loadings. Experiments with an impermeable membrane are used to determine if the precursor wave in an open-cell foam is a result of gas filtration or an elastic response of the foam. The differences between quasi-static and shock compression of foams is discussed in terms of their compressive strain histories and the implications for the energy absorption capacity of foam in both loading scenarios. Through a comparison of shock tube and blast wave loading techniques, suggestions are made concerning the accurate measurements of the principal shock Hugoniot in foams.

A stochastic constitutive model for disordered cellular materials: Finite-strain uni-axial compression

A stochastic constitutive model is developed for describing the continuum-scale mechanical response of disordered cellular materials. In the present work, attention is restricted to finite-strain uni-axial compression under quasi-static loading conditions. The development begins with an established cellular-scale mechanical model, but departs from traditional modeling approaches by generalizing the cellular-scale model to accommodate finite strain. The continuum-scale model is obtained by averaging the cellular-scale mechanical response over an ensemble of foam cells. Various stochastic material representations are considered through the use of probability density functions for the relevant material parameters, and the effects of the various representations on the continuum-scale response are investigated. Combining cellular-scale mechanics with a stochastic material representation to derive a continuum-scale constitutive model offers a promising new approach for simulating the finite-strain response of cellular materials. Results demonstrate that increasing a material’s degree of polydispersity can produce the same stiffening effects as increasing the initial solid-volume fraction. Additionally, particular stochastic material representations are shown to provide upper and lower bounds on the mechanical response of the cellular materials under investigation, while suitable choices for the stochastic representation are shown to accurately reproduce experimental stress–strain data through the large deformations associated with densification.
