… cellular solids while foams, with their polyhedral cells, are three-dimensional cellular solids. …

Honeycombs and foams, loaded at low temperatures (T<0.3T m ), deform by the elastic
deflection, elastic buckling and plastic collapse of their cell walls. At more elevated temperatures, …

The mechanical properties (elastic, plastic, creep, and fracture) of cellular solids or foams
are related to the properties of the cell wall material and to the cell geometry. The properties …
