Abstract
A geometrical model has been established based on the structure feature of high porosity metal materials, the mathematical relationship between electrical resistivity and porosity for high porosity materials with even structure has then been deduced conveniently, and the formula for calculating the electrical resistivity of high porosity materials through porosity, which is easy to know, has been acquired further. Besides, the theoretical formula was verified to coincide with the test results well by the application taking nickel foam as an example.
