摘要
Indentation loads were measured for axisymmetric flat-bottomed circular cylindrical punches, flat-plate punches and 2D wedge indenters. The indentation pressure was dependent on the indenter geometry and size, and on foam density. The mean indentation pressure decreased with increasing indenter size, until a limiting plateau pressure was attained. Tear energy extracted from indentation test data was in agreement with similar data from bearing failure, and with the mode I steady state fracture energy. Cyclic indentation reduced the maximum safe indentation load that the foam can sustain to about 0.35 times the monotonic indentation load.
