Strain Rate Effects of Polymeric Foam Cores Under Compressive Loading

Polymeric foams are widely used as core materials in various applications such as in cushioning, padding, insulating, structural use and buoyancy. This is because of its ability to provide high bending stiffness tied with lightweight in sandwich construction. The purpose of this paper is to investig...

In order to study the strain-rate dependence for these three different foams, compression tests based on the ASTM D 1621 were conducted over a range in strain rates of 0.0001 s-1 to 0.01 s-1 under the 50kN-Instron universal testing machine.

The results from the tests show that when the strain rate is higher, the area under the plateau region increases and higher amount of energy can be absorbed. The results also shows that the collapse stresses of the foams increased linearly with the logarithm of the strain rate. 2008 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/1381/3/Strain_Rate_Effects_of_Polymeric_Foam_Cores_under_Compressive.pdf M.
