In this study, simulation analyses on the impact property of aluminum foam are carried and verified by experimental results. When aluminum foams with thicknesses of 25mm and 35mm are applied by impact energy of 14J, impact energy and deformation happened at aluminum foam are investigated by comparing experimental and analysis results. Experimental and analysis results of deformations or absorbed impact energy become similar each other. After verifying these simulation results with experimental results, impact properties of aluminum foams with thicknesses of 45mm and 55mm are also investigated by simulation results. As impact properties of aluminum foam can be studied effectively through only simulation results, it is thought to spare much time and cost by investigating various impact properties of aluminum foams with simulation analysis.
