Due to their mechanical properties, metal foams are used in various fields. The aim of the
present research is to collect different studies about the important mechanical properties of …

The pore collapse mechanisms of closed-cell aluminium foams during quasi-static
compression have been investigated. A suite of experiments and numerical simulations …

Abstract In this study, Integral-Forming Method (IFM) of preparing aluminum foam sandwich
(AFS) has been developed based on traditional melt foaming method which possesses the …

This paper addresses an innovative syntactic foam (SF) formed by counter-gravity infiltration
of a packed bed of low-cost expanded perlite (EP) particles with molten A356 aluminium …

Novel foam filled tubes were manufactured via a highly reproducible and cost effective in
situ process. Stainless steel tubes were filled with ultralight porous expanded perlite …

In this study, the energy absorption properties as well as the macroscopic and microscopic
deformation behaviors of aluminum foam multilayer structures during quasi-static …

Polyurethane foam (PUF), a representative insulation material, not only prevents heat
conduction but can also support a load. Particular interest in rigid PUF proliferated over the …

This study investigates the axial compression mechanics and energy absorption
characteristics of aluminum foam-filled carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tubes from …

The mechanical properties of porous materials greatly depend on their microstructures, so
the generation of realistic microstructures is the premise for a sound numerical simulation …

The dynamic gas injection method with high-speed horizontal oscillation could reduce the
cell size and improve the cell quality of aluminum foams, so it is of interest to study the …
