The compression flow stress of the foam was a function of the relative density but exhibits little or no strain rate density. In addition to the flow stress, the energy absorption was also related to the foam density by a similar power law dependency. Metallographic observations of compressively deformed foam confirmed the general processes of progressive cell wall collapse.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAluminumFoamed materialsFoam cell'sStrains and stressesArticle2-s2.0-003424506510.1016/S1359-6462(00)00460-710.1016/S1359-6462(00)00460-7
