Abstract
In the Part I of this study, namely the analytical part in Mazor et al. (1992), the governing equations of the phenomenon in which a planar shock wave collides head-on with a cellular material and interacts with it were developed using a Lagrangian approach. In addition, the numerical approach adopted by us during the numerical course of this study was briefly outlined there. The present part reports on experimental and numerical results of the head-on reflection of a planar shock wave with an open cell polyurethane foam. Foams as mentioned by Gibson and Ashby (1988) and summerized in Part I of this study by Mazor et al. (1992), are one of the two general types of cellular materials.
