A two-scale micromechanical model for aluminium foam based on results from nanoindentation
Using a bottom-up approach for prediction of effective properties via a multi-scale model. Employing several advanced methods (e.g. nanoindentation, FFT-based homogenization) for the analysis. Application of the methodology to the microscopically inhomogeneous and highly porous material. Reduction of the foam geometrical complexity in the model. Verification of the proposed model by experiments.
