Abstract

Materials with a cellular structure are increasingly used in engineering. Proper design requires an understanding of the response of the materials to stress; and, in real engineering design, the stress state is often a complex one. In this paper we model the elastic buckling, plastic yield and brittle fracture of cellular solids under multiaxial stresses to develop equations describing their failure surfaces. The models are compared to data in the following, companion, paper.
