    • A Materials Properties Dataset for Elastomeric Foam Impact Mitigating Materials

    Metadata Updated: March 14, 2025

    The database includes mechanical data for structure-properties relationships and mechanical modeling of elastic impact protection foams from a variety of imaging (micro-computed tomography, digital image correlation) and force-sensing instruments (dynamic mechanical analysis, universal test system) under a wide range of experimental conditions and modes. The data repository includes directories for: dynamic mechanical analysis raw data, results, and analysis tools; intermediate rate (servo-hydraulic UTS based) raw data including 2D digital image correlation (DIC) images, results, and analysis tools; quasi-static rate (electro-mechanical UTS based) raw data including 2D digital image correlation (DIC), results, and analysis tools; micro-computed tomography data including raw volume images, filtered images, binarized images, other results, and analysis tools; and, instrumented drop tower data including backface force, high speed video, and results and analyzed data, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data.For more information see the readme and data documentation in each respective directory. A paper describing data collection, analysis, and database documentation is available here: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-02092-4. A repository containing example usage code is available at: https://github.com/materials-data-facility/foam_db. File formats for data include .txt, .xls, .tri, .tprc, .rcp, .py, .m, .csv, .mat, .vtk, .spa, .exp, .stl, and .tif.
