Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9702-9314 Characterization of cork and cork agglomerates under compressive loads by means of energy absorption diagrams 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Cork and cork agglomerates could be suitable replacements for petroleum-based polymeric foams due to their similar internal structure of cells and grains. Additionally, cork products have a renewable origin and are recyclable. Despite these notable properties, few studies have analysed the mechanical properties, especially the specific properties, of these materials under compressive loads. Moreover, although efficiency, ideality, and energy-normalized stress diagrams are commonly used for polymeric foams and 3D-printed lattice structures, these types of diagrams are not yet applied to cork products. It must be highlighted that efficiency diagrams are plotted only against nonspecific properties so, this article proposes additionally the use of nonspecific properties to compare materials not only in terms of properties per unit volume instead but also in terms of properties per unit mass that is more suitable for certain applications in which the weight is crucial. The materials studied herein include three different white cork agglomerates, a brown cork agglomerate, a black cork agglomerate, natural cork, and expanded polystyrene foam, which are subjected to quasi-static compressive loads. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ-IBERCAJA/JIUZ-2018-TEC-09 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/ID-ERGO Research group info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.528 2021 MATERIALS SCIENCE, PAPER & WOOD 6 / 21 = 0.286 2021 Q2 T1 FORESTRY 26 / 70 = 0.371 2021 Q2 T2 0.5 2021 Materials Science (miscellaneous) 2021 Q1 Forestry 2021 Q1 3.8 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Ranz, D.
