Abstract
- Despite the higher specific mechanical properties and the lower density of polymeric foams, these materials present cumulative damage behaviour that implies in the second and successive impacts, their mechanical properties decrease drastically. However, cork and cork agglomerates have the ability to absorb multiple impacts so they could be a more suitable material in some products, such as bumpers and helmets. This article is focused on the study of five different cork agglomerates and a natural cork under four different maximum deformations subjected to four consecutive compression loading cycles. Main diagrams, such as the stress–strain, energy density and efficiency, and the variation in diverse parameters, such as the absorbed energy density and maximum efficiency, were investigated and compared with an expanded polystyrene foam.
