The Research on the Numerical Modeling of Foam Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

Proposed three modeling methods for the numerical calculation of the foam material, the method of single cell deposition modeling is simple, but the assumptions of the foam cell structure become complicated, which don’t reflect the position and shape of the bubble holes adequately; the method of three dimensional reconstruction can truly reflect the shape of the foam material’s microstructure only for sliced section foam material, and it involves multiple softwares which leads to become difficult to accomplish; the method of programming enables cell distribute within the foam matrix material anywhere and be able to control the bubble shape of the hole, and it can also control the porosity by the program.
