Abstract:
Having previously assessed the inherent anisotropicity of open-cell foams due
to manufacturing
processes, the development of tools to understand the underlaying physical
phenomena that take
place as to multifunctional performance tailoring is addressed. In this work,
the mechanical energy
profiling of multilayered configurations with anisotropic porous materials is
acknowledged as an
integral part of such numerical tools. The methodology consists in a plane
wave approximation for
anisotropic multilayered structures as a mathematical base for the development
of an energy
assessment tool. This tool discerns between the different physical phenomena
within the assessed
structure, which can be then referred to a discrete energetic study. Finally,
an analysis of the
dissipative response for anisotropic porous materials as a function of their
material coordinate
orientation is done.
