Abstract
The compressive behavior is one of the most fundamental mechanical properties for engineering materials. In this paper, the octahedral structure model of porous materials is used to evolve the mechanical analysis model under compressive loading for the porous composite materials, which are resulted from reticular metal foams with pore struts presenting multilayered structure. Starting from this analysis model, some fundamental mechanical relationships, including those of the safe load-bearing and overall strength, have been deduced for these porous composite materials. The compressive strength has been characterized for the porous composite body, corresponding to the overall failure caused by the prior breakage of the strut core and by the prior breakage of the strut shell, respectively. The nickel foam products manufactured on the production line of enterprise were used to make porous composite materials by coating the pore struts with epoxy resin, and the metal foam composite material was obtained with the composite pore-struts of metal/resin multilayered structure. Using this porous composite material for compression experiments, it is found that the experimental data match well with the mathematical relationship from the present theoretical model. The results verify the feasibility of this analysis model and the practicality of the relevant mathematical relationship.
