Abstract
Properties of cellular solids derived from three dimensional (3D) tomographic images regarding virtual materials design were analyzed. It was found that either differential effective medium (DEM) theory or the classical correlation E/Es = (ρ/ρs)2 can accurately estimate Young's modulus of these cellular solids. It was also observed that microtomographic imaging at higher resolutions with faster acquisition times can allow dynamical effects to be studied. The results of the numerical calculations offer the ability to measure local elastic and transport properties; information which is not currently measurable.
