Experimental microelasticity of two porous solids

Abstract Experiments are performed to determine the dependence of torsional and bending rigidity upon diameter for rod-shaped specimens of dense polyurethane foam and syntactic foam. Results show an effect due to-the microstructure. Results are describable by a Cosserat elastic model. The six Cosserat elastic constants are determined.
