Collapse mechanisms of sandwich beams with composite faces and a foam core, loaded in three-point bending. Part II: experimental investigation and numerical modelling (2004, methodology): “For this purpose, the Deshpande and Fleck [ 14 ] constitutive description for a polymer foam has been implemented within the ABAQUS standard 9nite element program and has been calibrated with the stress–strain curves for PVC foams in tension, compression and shear.”
Collapse mechanisms of sandwich beams with composite faces and a foam core, loaded in three-point bending. Part I: analytical models and minimum weight design (2004, unknown): “In the companion paper by Steeves and Fleck [14] it is shown experimentally and by Dnite element analysis that the indentation load is set by elastic deformation of the faces and compressive yield of the core.”
Three-dimensional modeling of the mechanical property of linearly elastic open cell foams (2005, result): “…failure stress of elastic open cell Voronoi foams, in magnitude, is comparable to the uni-axial failure stress, and the failure surfaces for both densities comply with the maximum principal compressive stress criterion, consistent with experimental observations by Deshpande and Fleck (2001).”
