Abstract

The computer simulation of two-dimensional foams allows a comprehensive description of the mechanical properties of these systems. In particular, we have calculated elastic constants and yield stress of disordered foams as functions of the gas fraction PHI, greatly improving and extending the previous results of Bolton and Weaire. A comparison with random elastic networks is appropriate in the limit of wet froth close to the rigidity-loss transition at PHI(c) almost-equal-to 0.84. As the transition is approached, small increments of strain trigger avalanches of topological changes.
