Title

3D Image-Based Stochastic Micro-structure Modelling of Foams for Simulating Elasticity

Abstract
Image acquisition techniques such as micro-computed tomography are nowadays widely available. Quantitative analysis of the resulting 3D image data enables geometric characterization of the micro-structure of materials. Stochastic geometry models can be fit to the observed micro-structures. By alteration of the model parameters, virtual micro-structures with modified geometry can be generated. Numerical simulation of elastic properties in realizations of these models yields deeper insight on the influence of particular micro-structural features. Ultimately, this allows for an optimization of the micro-structure geometry for particular applications. Here, we present this workflow at the example of open-cell foams. Applicability is demonstrated using an aluminum alloy foam sample. The structure observed in a micro-computed tomography image is modelled by the edge system of a random Laguerre tessellation generated by a system of closely packed spheres. Elastic moduli are computed in the binarized µCT image of the foam as well as in realizations of the model. They agree well with the results of a compression test on the real material.
