Abstract
The material is formed of a compressed and substantially homogeneous mass of randomly extending stainless steel wires which, prior to compression of the mass, contain helical coils and are substantially free from stress risers. The material is highly durable, and under compression loading has substantially isotropic and linear stress/strain properties at significantly differing strain levels.
