In order to study the uniaxial compression properties of closed-cell metal foam, three different modeling methods were used in this paper to establish 2D random cell, 3D Kelvin and 3D voronoi metal foam model. Based on the LS-DYNA software, the differences of the compressive mechanical properties of the closed-cell metal foam under three different models were analyzed. The deformation mode and the stress strain response of the metal foam under three models were studied. The results show that 2D random cell model is more suitable for the study of the compression regularity of metal foam, and the 3D model is more suitable for the prediction and optimization of the compression response of metal foam. The 2D random cell model is restricted by its plane geometry, it can only simulate the closed-cell metal foam with low porosity in most cases. The Kelvin model and Voronoi model can simulate the closed- cell metal foam with high porosity. Compared with the Kelvin model and 2D random cell model, the voronoi model is more realistic and reasonable, and it is able to better characterize the compressive mechanical properties of closed-cell metal foam.
