Figure 8.4 (a) Progressive shortening behavior in<br />

compression–compression fatigue for a Duocel Al-6101-T6 foam of relative<br />

density 0.08. (b) Progressive shortening behavior in<br />

compression–compression fatigue for Alcan foam (relative density 0.057;<br />

R D 0.5). (c) Progressive shortening behavior in compression–compression<br />

fatigue for Alporas foam (relative density 0.11). (d) Progressive shortening<br />

behavior in compression–compression fatigue: comparison of the progressive<br />

drop in stiffness of Alporas in a monotonic and fatigue test (relative<br />

density 0.11)
