Sumario: | Based on flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF), which is reversible after compression, and expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), which has a high cushioning energy absorption capacity, the parallel and series combinations of FPUF and EPS are provided. According to experimental data of FPUF and EPS uniaxial compression large deformation, the mechanical properties and cushioning effectiveness of the FPUF-EPS combination materials with different structural scale parameters were investigated by theory analysis and finite element simulation. The mechanical response and the cushioning effectiveness influencing factors of FPUF-EPS parallel (FE-P) and FPUF-EPS series (FE-S) combination materials under single compressive load, single-impact load, and multiple compressive loads were obtained. The differences in mechanical properties and cushioning effectiveness of FE-P, FE-S, FPUF, and EPS are analyzed. The influence law of structural scale parameters and load strength on the mechanical properties and cushioning effectiveness of FE-P and FE-S is provided. It indicates that the cushion properties of combination materials should be adjusted to satisfy product protection requirements. It is beneficial for the design optimization of cushioning and packaging protection. |
