Lightweight metallic cellular materials (MCMs) have been seen in numerous engineering
applications to date, primarily due to their excellent mechanical characteristics such as low …

Dynamic compressive behaviour of cellular materials is crucial to their applications in
energy absorption, ballistic mitigation and blast/impact protection. The recent research …

X-ray computer tomography (CT) is fast becoming an accepted tool within the materials
science community for the acquisition of 3D images. Here the authors review the current …

All-metallic corrugate core sandwich panels as primary loading structures may rapidly soften
under compressive loading due mainly to core member buckling once the peak compressive …

Mechanical properties of cellular solids depend on the ratio of the sample size to the cell
size at length scales where the two are of the same order of magnitude. Considering that the …

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

Sandwich panels having metallic corrugated cores had distinctly different attributes from
those having metal foam cores, the former with high specific stiffness/strength and the latter …

The effects of the relative density and loading rate on the compressive response,
deformation pattern and energy absorption of 3D printed polymeric Kelvin foams are …

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 …

A new type of periodic cellular metal called wire-woven bulk Kagome (WBK) is devised. For
fabricating the WBK truss core, continuous helical wires are systematically assembled in six …
