Funded Activity Summary

Dynamic Crushing of Cellular Solids: Deformation Modes and Energy Absorption. Energy absorption behaviour of structures and materials is essential in minimising damage and fatalities caused by accidental collisions. Cellular solids are excellent in this respect. This project aims to systematically investigate the dynamic crushing of two such materials: honeycombs and metal foams. Experimental techniques applicable to these materials will be developed and comprehensive tests will be conducted. Studies will be made into their dynamic deformation modes and the associated energy absorption behaviour. The findings will extend our conceptual understanding of a class of similar problems and will help to design structures with cellular solids for much improved crashworthiness performance.
