Abstract

New phenomenological material model for solid foam materials is presented. This model describes the uniaxial compressive stress-strain curves of foam materials. Parameters of this model specifically control the shape of compressive stress-strain curve and they are function of foam density. Specimens of polyurethane (PUR) foam with different densities were compressed and their stress-strain curves were fitted by model. Functions of model parameters were used for predict the compressive stress-strain curve of other density foam specimen.
