Sažetak
Advanced pore morphology (APM) foam, consisting of sphere-like metallic foam elements, exhibits some particular mechanical properties with unique application possibilities. The article presents the results of experimental and computational testing of APM foam elements to determine their mechanical behavior under quasi-static and dynamic compressive loading conditions. Additionally, an infrared thermal imaging camera has been used during experimental testing. Evaluated mechanical properties give better insight into the behavior of single APM foam elements under different types of loading and provide a good base for further studies of the topology and morphology influence on the global behavior of composite structures, based on APM foam elements.
