Investigations of the failure behaviors of open-cell copper foam based on in-situ X-ray tomography compression experiments and image reconstructed finite element modeling

•In situ compression experiments are performed for exploring the deformation features and internal local failure behaviors of open-cell copper foams.•Four types of geometrical components are identified in the open-cell copper foam.•Three different finite element models are constructed based on tomog...
