Popis: As a promising nano-porous material for energy dissipation, the viscoelastic properties of three-dimensional (3D) graphene foams (GrFs) are investigated by combining a dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and coarse-grained molecular dynamic (CGMD) simulations. The effects of the different factors, such as the density of the GrFs, temperature, loading frequency, oscillatory amplitude, the pre-strain on the storage and loss modulus of the GrFs as well as the micro-mechanical mechanisms are mainly focused upon. Not only the storage modulus but also the loss modulus are found to be independent of the temperature and the frequency. The storage modulus can be weakened slightly by bond-breaking with an increasing loading amplitude. Furthermore, the tensile/compressive pre-strain and density of the GrFs can be used to effectively tune the viscoelastic properties of the GrFs. These results should be helpful not only for understanding the mechanical mechanism of GrFs but also for optimal designs of advanced damping materials.
