To　improve　the　defense　capability　of　military　equipment　under　extreme　conditions,　impact-resistant　and　high-energy-consuming　materials　have　to　be　developed.　The　damping　characteristic　of　entangled　porous　metallic　wire　materials　(EPMWM)　for　vibration　isolation　was　previously　investigated.　In　this　paper,　a　study　focusing　on　the　impact-resistance　of　EPMWM　with　the　consideration　of　ambient　temperature　is　presented.　The　quasi-static　and　low-velocity　impact　mechanical　behavior　of　EPMWM　under　different　temperatures　(25　degrees　C-30　0　degrees　C)　are　systematically　studied.　The　results　of　the　static　compression　test　show　that　the　damping　energy　dissipation　of　EPMWM　increases　with　temperature　while　the　nonlinear　damping　characteristics　are　gradually　enhanced.　During　the　impact　experiments,　the　impact　energy　loss　rate　of　EPMWM　was　between　65%　and　85%,　while　the　temperatures　increased　from　25　degrees　C　to　300　degrees　C.　Moreover,　under　the　same　drop　impact　conditions,　the　overall　deformation　of　EPMWM　decreases　in　the　temperature　range　of　100　degrees　C-20　0　degrees　C.　On　the　other　hand,　the　impact　stiffness,　energy　dissipation,　and　impact　loss　factor　of　EPMWM　significantly　increase　with　temperature.　This　can　be　attributed　to　an　in-crease　in　temperature,　which　changes　the　thermal　expansion　coefficient　and　contact　state　of　the　internal　wire　helixes.　Consequently,　the　energy　dissipation　mode　(dry　friction,　air　damping,　and　plastic　defor-mation)　of　EPMWM　is　also　altered.　Therefore,　the　EPMWM　may　act　as　a　potential　candidate　material　for　superior　energy　absorption　applications.(c)　2021　China　Ordnance　Society.　Publishing　services　by　Elsevier　B.V.　on　behalf　of　KeAi　Communications　Co.　Ltd.　This　is　an　open　access　article　under　the　CC　BY-NC-ND　license　(http://creativecommons.org/　licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).
