The Indentation Behavior of Closed-Cell Al Foam under the Flat-End Cylindrical Indenter

Abstract:

The indentation response of the closed-cell Al foam under the flat-end cylindrical indenter is examined by use the finite element method. The MSC/Marc finite element package is used to model the indentation response of the foam panels, and the Al foam was defined in MSC/Marc as the homogeneous, elasto-plastic material. The simulation result reveals that the deformation was found to be almost totally restricted to a spherical cap-shape compacted zone under the indenter, and the shape of the deformation zone is similar to the observed phenomenon from the indentation test.
