Abstract

We have developed a new theory to analyse the compression-stress behaviour of foam-formed fibre materials. The experimental samples included different fibre and fines types, and they were processed with several different foaming agents. The mechanical testing was supported by simultaneous high-speed imaging and acoustic emission measurements. The theory described well the average stress behaviour upto c.a. 50% compression, despite different densities and raw materials of the samples. Moreover, the relative number of acoustic events followed the predicted proportion of buckled fibre segments for varied strain.
