On the effect of cell irregularity on the effective behavior of solid foams
Abstract
The present study provides an analytical probabilistic approach for the homogenization of hyperelastic solid foams with irregular microstructure. The scheme is based on the multiple analysis of a randomized representative volume element in conjunction with a stochastic evaluation of the results in terms of the stress mean values and the corresponding standard deviations defining the scatter band widths.
