A materials data framework and dataset for elastomeric foam impact mitigating materials.

ABSTRACT: The availability of materials data for impact-mitigating materials has lagged behind applications-based data. For example, data describing on-field helmeted impacts are available, whereas material behaviors for the constituent impact-mitigating materials used in helmet designs lack open datasets. Here, we describe a new FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) data framework with structural and mechanical response data for one example elastic impact protection foam. The continuum-scale behavior of foams emerges from the interplay of polymer properties, internal gas, and geometric structure. This behavior is rate and temperature sensitive, therefore, describing structure-property characteristics requires data collected across several types of instruments. Data included are from
