Paper - off the paper shelf options . . .
1. Egg crate boxes - if you need something stronger than one - stack then one inside the other - cheap and great for first experiments if you want some preliminary emperical results
2. If you want something "more rigid" consider corrugated cardboard (the kind with one outside paper surface removed). This can be rolled up (as delivered?)and cut on a table saw to whatever depth/thickness you desire.
3. Regular (two sided) corrugated cardboard (4x8 sheets?)cut into desired widths and then stacked (glued?)into blocks.

Do a search for "composite structural foam"...you will get plenty of information...
The US Navy also did some work on LasCor (not sure about the spelling). It was basically a metallic cardboard. I wasn't terribly impressed, but this may be a good application for it since metals are generally well understood for FEA purposes...
