Huang Chenguang, (Institute of Mechanics, Chiweve Aculeny of Seitnces, Beijny 100190, Chiu) Abstract Meso structure of metallic foam, such as morphologies of cells, cell walls and pores, is very important to its mechanical properties. Unlike honeycombs and some other cellular solids which have sequential and periodical cell structures, metallic foams are inherently disordered in the cell level: non-equally sized and various shaped cells, non-equally dimensioned and curvy cell walls, random pores and cracks. It is impractical to extract. a representative cell and hnild ordered models, and the simplified homogenons models can not. reveal the importance of cell structures to the global mechanical properties. A common parameter in analytical models is relative density, which is a macroscopic value that cannot reveal the meso structure of metallic foam, In this paper, a fractal approach is introduced to bridge the morphological parameters of cell structures and the mechanical properties of metallic foams. Cell morphology of Al foams is proved to be a fractal geometry of self-similar in a certain scale, using the slit island method proposed by Mandelbrot. A series of Al foams with different relative densities and meso structures were examined by the box-counting dimension method, the information dimension method and the slit island method. Tt is found that the fractal dimension is in direct proportion to the ratio of characteristic wall thickness to mean cell diameter. By mapping the cell morphology to the generalized Sierpinski carpet, the mechanical properties of Al foams ate expressed as the function of fractal dimension. In addition, the fractal model is combined with the size effect model proposed by Onck et al, and the revised size effect model for metallic foams incorporates stochastic characteristic of meso structures. ‘The results show that the fractal-haserd model can not only reveal the variation of yield strength with specimen size, but also bridge the meso structures and mechanical properties of Al foams directly.
