| Summary: | This research investigates the energy absorption capacity of an open-cell foam
3D structure through simulation of compression tests. The study utilises AutoCAD
software, particularly Rhino 3D, for modelling the foam structures, generating
multiple models of varying volumes. Subsequently, Ansys Workbench simulation
software is employed to simulate the compression process, yielding insights into
deformation, stress distribution, and force reactions. One significant challenge
encountered during the research pertained to generating a random Voronoi tessellation
of the structures, which led to improper meshing during simulation. Despite this
obstacle, the study provides valuable insights into the energy absorption capabilities
of open-cell foam structures, offering implications for various engineering applications
where energy dissipation is crucial. |
