Resumen

Determining hydro-mechanical properties of porous materials present a challenge because they exhibit a more complex behaviour than their continuous counterparts -- The geometrical factors such as pore shape, length scale and occupancy play a definite role in the materials characterization -- On the other hand, computational mechanics calculations for porous materials face an intractable amount of data -- To overcome these difficulties, this investigation propose a workflow (Image segmentation, surface triangulation and parametric surface fitting) to model porous materials (starting from a high-resolution industrial micro-CT scan) and transits across different geometrical data (voxel data, cross cut contours, triangular shells and parametric quadrangular patches) for the different stages in the computational mechanics simulations -- We successfully apply the proposed workflow in aluminum foam -- The various data formats allow the calculation of the tortuosity value of the material by using viscoelastic wave propagation simulations and poroelastic investigations -- Future work includes applications for the geometrical model such as boundary elements and iso-geometrical analysis, for the calculation of material properties

The geometrical factors such as pore shape, length scale and occupancy play a definite role in the materials characterization. On the other hand, computational mechanics calculations for porous materials face an intractable amount of data. To overcome these difficulties, this investigation propose a workflow (Image segmentation, surface triangulation and parametric surface fitting) to model porous materials (starting from a high-resolution industrial micro-CT scan) and transits across different geometrical data (voxel data, cross cut contours, triangular shells and parametric quadrangular patches) for the different stages in the computational mechanics simulations.
