INVESTIGATIONS INTO MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF TWO REINFORCED FOAM PLASTICS

Some new results of the static and dynamic compressive tests about two reinforced foam plastics are given in this paper. Their deformation and failure characteristics were investigated by these experiments. By means of SEM analyses for two reinforced foam plastics specimens after loading, the deformation and failure mechanisms of them are determined. Furthermore, the reinforced mechanisms of them are also discussed from the viewpoint of microscopy.
