Short Course on Mechanics of Foams
A short course on the “Mechanics of Liquid and Solid Foams” will be offered at CISM, the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences in Udine, Italy, 13-17 July 2015 (see brochure attached).
The course will focus on relationships between the cellular microstructure and nonlinear mechanical behavior of liquid and solid foams, and foam-like biological and synthetic materials. Theoretical models, experimental methods, and numerical simulations will be presented. The course is aimed at PhD students, postdocs, and researchers in academia and industry.
presenting a new method to model of metal foams
i have presented a new method for the first time to model of metal foams that subtracts stochastic cells from a desired volume and changes it to a foam.
i would like to know if there is any phd position for this?
thank u for your consideration :)
Viscoelastic properties of pre- and post-cure cellular rubbers using rheometer
Hi All,
I would like to know if anyone has had the opportunity to investigate cellular rubbers rheology. I am thinking of characterizing the viscoelastic properties of cellular rubber during cure and after cure in the rheometer, using ASTM D6601. What I am expecting is a distorted cellular structure due to very constrained foam expansion during the blowing agent's decomposition, so the results would obviously be different than the ones obtained from a DMTA machine.
Would like to hear from anyone with some rheology / viscoelastic characterization experience.
