Abstract:An optical method is used for measurements of mechanical properties of foams. The method is based on analysis of diffraction pattern and does not require calibration. The measurements of the stiffness were performed for the conventional and auxetic foams. It was found that the stiffness of auxetic foams is several times greater than that of conventional foams.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
