Energy-absorbing materials are widely used in transportations, sports, and the military
applications. Particularly, porous materials, including natural and artificial materials, have …

This paper aims to evaluate the potential use of closed-cell aluminium alloy integral-skin
foams as stiffening elements for aluminium alloy thin-walled structures that are main basic …

Hybrid metamaterial with auxetic cellular structure and silicon filler was manufactured and
mechanically tested for the first time with aim to study its enhanced mechanical properties …

Over the past two decades, a large number of metallic foams have been developed. In
recent years research on this multi-functional material class has further intensified. However …

This paper presents the results of an experimental work carried out to fabricate and
characterise the in-situ foam filled tubes (FFTs) made of aluminium alloys prepared by …

Novel ex-situ foam-filled tubes (FFTs) were prepared by inserting an integral-skin foam filler
into an empty aluminium alloy tube. The aluminium alloy foam filler is prepared by powder …

This paper addresses numerical and experimental analysis of the m. pore® aluminium foam.
Numerical models are based on computed tomography data in order to capture the complex …

Multifunctional hybrid foams were developed and tested by combining aluminium alloy open-
cell (OC) foam specimens with polymers, epoxy resin and silicone rubber. The rectangular …

We present a comprehensive modeling and numerical study focusing on the energy quasi-
static crushing behavior and energy absorption characteristics of hollow tube microlattice …

In the framework of the couple stress theory, we discuss the effective elastic properties of a
metal open-cell foam. In this theory, we have the couple stress tensor, but the microrotations …
