Abstract Due to its high strength, low weight and strong anti impact capability, aluminum foam has great potential in the fields of transportation, aerospace and building structures as energy absorbing materials. Due to its complicated microstructures, it is desirable to develop an efficient numerical method to study the dynamic response of the aluminum foam under impact loading. In this paper, the material point method (MPM) is extended to the numerical simulation of the dynamic response of the aluminum foam under impact loading by incorporating the Deshpande Fleck's model and a volumetric strain failure model into our More >
