The original data of Graf and Hosford [1] includes ... -
Impact behaviour of foam-based protective structures
Berdal, Sindre; Bjørgo, Lars Einar Uhlen (Master thesis, 2017)Foams are three dimensional cellular materials, with cell walls made up of a solid or liquid material and cells containing a gas or liquid. The solid material can be anything from a metal to a ceramic. Metallic and polymeric ... -
