Modeling of the Behavior of an Aluminum Metallic Foam by Both FEM and Experimental Results

Abstract:

Aluminum foams are porous metallic materials which possess an outstanding combination of physical and mechanical properties such as: a high rigidity with a very low density. In this present research work, a study on the upsetting of an aluminum foam (with a density = 0.73 g/cm³) is carried out by employing different compression velocity values. From the results obtained, it is possible to determine the material flow stress for its subsequent use in finite element simulations (FEM). Once the material flow stress has been determined, it will be employed in order to analyze the conformability of several parts by FEM.
