Recently, titanium metal foams are being considered as a suitable replacement for substituting trabecular bone microstructure especially for their similar pore distribution. The most common methods for determination of compressive effective elastic properties of such materials involve different approaches based on finite element analysis (FEA) of their microstructure. The internal geometry is usually modeled by two different methods - directly on the basis of a series of CT scans or using one of discretization schemes. However, all these techniques require highly specialized hardware, software and significant amount of computational time. In this paper, the effective elastic properties of the metal foam are instead obtained by analytical modulus-porosity relations and results are compared with previous FE based analysis.
