An Experimental and Computational Study of the High-Velocity Impact of Low-Density Aluminum Foam

The study presents the results of an experimental and computational study of the high-velocity impact of low-density aluminum foam into a rigid wall. It is shown that the aluminum foam samples deformed before hitting the rigid wall because of the high inertial forces during the acceleration. During...
