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 …

Cellular structures (in general) and auxetic topologies (in particular) have excellent energy-
dissipation characteristics and can be used as lightweight impact-energy absorbers. This …

Porous aluminum (Al) composites are lightweight and high-strength materials composing of
Al as a matrix material with some strengthening reinforcements and pore-forming agents that …

The need for more effective defence systems is of critical importance because of the rising
risk of explosive attacks. Sandwich panels are used as plastically deforming sacrificial …

Auxetic structures are efficient cellular materials that can absorb blast/impact energy through
plastic deformation, thus protecting the structure. They are developing sacrificial solutions …

There is strong interest in employing lightweight metallic foams for automotive and
aerospace applications, where weight reduction, and mechanical energy absorption and …

In this work, the mechanical behavior of syntactic foams made of hollow glass microspheres
mixed in an iron matrix was investigated. This type of material is interesting since, when …

Thin-walled aluminum alloy (Al alloy) structure, carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) tube,
aluminum foam (Al foam) and polyurethane foam (PU foam) all can be used as good energy …

This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) mesoscopic model of closed-cell aluminum
foams. This model is different from the model developed using Voronoi technique …
