SIMULATION OF OPEN MICROCELLULAR CARBON FOAMS: PERIODIC AND APERIODIC STRUCTURES
Abstract
A periodic structure is presented that can represent medium-to-high porosity open-cellular spherical void phase carbon foams. A mathematical expression is developed that relates the porosity of the structure to the void diameter and the unit cell dimension. Next, an algorithm capable of simulating the random structure of open-cellular carbon foams with spherical inclusions was developed. The influence of the physical topological parameters on …
