Size effects in foams: Experiments and modeling

Mechanical properties of cellular solids depend on the ratio of the sample size to the cell size at length scales where the two are of the same order of magnitude. Considering that the cell size of many cellular solids used in engineering applications is between 1 and 10 mm, it is not uncommon to have components with dimensions of only a few cell sizes. Therefore, both for mechanical testing and for design, it is important to understand the link...
