This work gives an overview of the production, properties and industrial applications of metal
foams. First, it classifies the most relevant manufacturing routes and methods. Then, it …

Open-cell metallic foams or porous metals have a distinctive combination of excellent
structural performance and superior functional characteristics, such as their light weight …

Open cell metal foams are good candidates for augmenting the thermal performance of heat
sinks and compact heat exchangers, with the added benefits of lighter and more compact …

Generating finite element discretizations with direct interface parameterizations constitutes a
considerable computational expense in case of complex interface geometries. The paper at …

It has been years since the concept that inhomogeneity in pore size has an adverse effect on
the thermal transport came into view. Typically, although some porous materials possess the …

The finite cell method (FCM) combines the fictitious domain approach with the p‐version of
the finite element method and adaptive integration. For problems of linear elasticity, it offers …

Aluminum foams have emerged as a remarkable engineering material, exhibiting
exceptional structural performance and many excellent properties. This has led to a rise in …

In the present paper, the macroscopic mechanical properties of open-cell M-Pore® sponge
(porosity of 91–93%) and closed-cell Alporas® foam (porosity of 80–86%) are investigated …

This paper reviews the available methods to study thermal applications with open-cell metal
foam. Both experimental and numerical work are discussed. For experimental research, the …

This book describes in detail the scientific philosophy of the formation and stabilization-
destabilization of foams. It presents all hierarchical steps of a foam, starting from the …
