| Summary: | The effects of geometrical shapes are believed to play significant role in the deformation
of metal foams under impact loading. This research was carried out to investigate the deformation
behaviour of a single cellular cell of metal foam with different geometrical shapes. The simulation
analyses were done on various two dimensional shapes with the consideration of the material
properties. Two parameter values had been studied to determine the dynamic deformation
behaviour of various geometrical shapes i.e. the internal energy and kinetic energy. It is found that,
the geometrical shapes have shown significant effects on the dynamic deformation of single metal
foam cell. It is hoped that this study could contribute significant result to the research of the metal
foams especially in analyzing the shape effects to the behaviour of the metal foam under impact
loading. |
