Computational Analysis of the Explosive Compaction Fabrication Process of Cylindrical Uni-directional Porous Copper

The explosive compaction fabrication process of cylindrical uni-directional porous copper, consisting of an outer pipe completely filled with smaller inner pipes, was investigated by experimental and computational simulations to analyze and optimize the fabrication process conditions. The computational simulations were carried out using a two-dimensional model, mimicking the transverse cross-section of fabricated specimens. The computational...
