Abstract
Various foam models are developed using LS-DYNA3D and validated against experiments. Dynamic and static stress-strain relations are obtained experimentally for crushable and resilient foam materials and used as inputs to the finite element analyses. Comparisons of the results obtained from different foam models with test data show excellent correlations for all the cases studied.
