p-V Characteristics of Sintered Porous Mo under Hydrostatic Pressure

Loading-unloading experiments on mid-density sintered porous Mo specimen were conducted under hydrostatic pressure. Under the circumstance, the p-V characteristics of foamed material with different diameters and initial density were first studied. Certain evidences show that strain amplitude in samples is correlated with initial density; but unload curves do not depend on initial density and diameter of specimens. Foamed Mo samples appear have higher energy absorbing capacity and efficiency based on calculated results. However, both the excellence relate to energy are somehow decreased after pre-pressured to the specimens.
