Computer Simulation of Structure and Calculation of Physico-Mechanical Characteristics of Foamed Plastics – Part 1: Stochastic Simulation Models

Approaches to estimation of light-weight foam physico-mechanical characteristics are discussed; stochastic models are suggested followed by their computer study. Calculations result in macrostress diagrams in an ensemble of foam system gas structural elements. Model versions of varying density foam systems are considered and their programme implementation examined.
