Thread: Impact absorbency of foam structures

Hi,

i am investigating the mechanics of impacted foam and related structures. i am hoping to find a way to improve the structure of foam so that it becomes more impact absorbent. I am interested in finding a structure that has a good ability to absorb impacts.

Do you mean like absorbing kinetic energy?
Well, how big are the objects you are talking about?
I think it would be hard to absorb an impact of a car with foam.
