Quasi-static compression tests for closed-cell aluminum foams manufactured by the melt
route were conducted. Deformation mechanisms at the cell level are discussed. Cell shape …

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

We report the results of an experimental and numerical study conducted on a closed-cell
aluminium foam that was subjected to uniaxial compression with lateral constraint. X-ray …

Packed beds of expanded perlite (EP) particles with three different size ranges (1–1.4, 2–
2.8, and 4–5.6 mm) have been infiltrated with molten Al to produce EP/A356 Al syntactic …

The application of different cooling rates as a strategy to enhance the structure of aluminium
foams is studied. The potential to influence the level of morphological defects and cell size …

Aluminium foam sandwich panels containing aluminium alloy sheets ('AFS') have been
made available now in sizes up to a few square metres but an unresolved problem in …

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) mesoscopic model to investigate the
responses of closed-cell metallic foams subjected to static and dynamic loadings, especially …

Stabilization is an essential requirement to produce closed-cell metal foams. In the melt
route of foaming, usually ceramic particles are used as foam stabilizers. For the first time, the …

Strain hardening significantly affects the mechanical function of steel foams. We compare
hardening and failure of two commercially available austenitic stainless steel foams (316L …

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the quasi-static and dynamic compressive crush
performance of integral-skin closed-cell aluminium alloy foam with and without radial …
