| Abstract: | A generalized equation for the compressive stress-strain diagrams of plastic foams is derived on the basis of a 14-faced model of the cell. The results obtained make it possible to predict the polymer base and type of cellular structure required to obtain a foam with predetermined mechanical properties in compression. The calculated values are shown to be in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.Vladimir Scientific-Research Institute of Synthetic Resins.
