| Summary: | Demand using aluminum foam sandwich in various application of industry keep increasing. Hence, the reliable numerical models are still
required and need to be enhanced by observing the mechanical behavior of the sandwich structure. Numerical analysis of aluminum foam
sandwich that subjected to compression loading had been analyzed using LS-DYNA software. Three different thickness of aluminum
foam (3.2mm, 5.6mm, 6.35mm) and three different thickness of aluminum sheet (0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm) had been selected to investigate
their pattern of force-displacement curves and energy absorbed. The numerical results have been validated by experimental results
for comparison. The findings show that simulation results exhibit good agreement with the experimental results in terms of their trend in
force-displacement curves and deformation behavior of the sandwich structures. The increment in peak force and energy absorbed affected
by increasing the thickness of foam and aluminum sheet |
