A Review of Numerical Study on Explosion and Shock Wave Resistance of Metal Foam Material

Abstract

The goal of this research is to understand the status quo and trend of research on numerical simulation of explosion and shock wave resistance of metal foam material. Methods of modelling metal foam material and numerical algorithms of explosion and shock, as well as the current advances in two aspects have been briefly reviewed. Some problems existing in numerical simualtion of explosion and shock wave resistance of metal foam material have also been pointed out. Conclusions of this research will be of benefit to study explosion and shock wave resistance of metal foam material using numerical approach farther.
