Foam-X

Foam-X is a standalone utility for characterizing the Biot properties of open-cell porous materials based on impedance tube measurements (following ASTM E1050 or ISO 10534-2).  Foam-X is ideally suited for measuring material property data for use in systel level VA One models.  

• Get accurate measurements of Foam and Fiber material property data for use in VA One models
• Quickly characterize Biot parameters from simple impedance tube measurements
• Assess the sensitivity of the response to uncertainties in the measured poroelastic properties
• Investigate the sensitivty of measurements to frame boundary conditions

• Characterize Foams (metallic, polymeric, chipped foams etc)
• Characterize Fibers (glasswool, glass fiber, felt, resinated cotton, fabrics etc.)
• Compatible with rigid, limp and elastic frames
• Users guide Includes measurement guidelines and validation data
