摘要
This study examines the tensile characteristics of closed-cell aluminum foams over a range of strain rates, encompassing both quasi-static and dynamic conditions. An extensive experimental series was performed utilizing a servo-hydraulic testing machine to assess tensile behavior at strain rates ranging from 10(-4) s(-1 )to 100 s(-1). Tensile strength is found to rise with increasing strain rate. Significant strain localization and progressive crack propagation are observed, leading to material failure under dynamic loading conditions. Finite element analysis incorporating a stochastic circular pore model is employed to simulate the experimental behavior, with results in close agreement. Employing digital image correlation offered comprehensive insights into strain fields, enhancing the understanding of crack initiation and propagation mechanisms. This research delivers a thorough comprehension of aluminum foams' sensitivity to strain rate and fracture behavior, which is vital for optimizing their use in impact protection and energy absorption systems.
