This post will serve to collect together a variety of test data sets for elastomeric foams, also called resilient foams. The target material model is the *Hyperfoam material model in Abaqus.
If you base a *Hyperfoam material model on only uniaxial compression test data, it is likely that the simple shear behavior of the material model will be very wrong - orders of magnitude wrong. The 2006 paper by Petre and Erdemir point this out very clearly.
