Abstract
Uniaxial compression tests on aluminum foam reveal formation of bands of localized compaction, initiating near peak stress, and becoming clearly defined during the subsequent stress drop. Band formation is modeled as a bifurcation from uniform deformation due to a constitutive instability. Theoretical predictions and experimental observations are in reasonable agreement.
