Compaction dynamics of metallic nano-foams: A hydrodynamics simulation study

J. B. Elliott, M. A. Duchaineau, T. Dittrich +3

The compression of a low-density copper foam was simulated with a radiation, hydrodynamics code. In one simulation, the foam had a density of ${\rho }_0=1.3407$ g/cm${}^3$, 15% the densi…
