Sa. Firstov et al., Effect of pore space structure on deformation energy absorption during compression of highly porous composites. II. Intense hardening stage, POWD MET ME, 39(9-10), 2000, pp. 498-503
A method is suggested for analytical determination of the optimum structure
for highly porous material according to the criterion of minimum deformati
on stress. It is shown that calculation by the minimum stress criterion mak
es is possible to obtain in the optimum structural state a lower damping st
ress with greater work for deformation. Calculations are in good agreement
with experimental results.
