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

Sound absorption mechanism, material modification and structural design of various
synthetic fiber materials for industrial noise reduction are reviewed in this paper for the …

Graded lattice sandwich structures (GLSSs) enable superior structural performances due to
the continuously-varying configurations and properties of lattices in space. This paper …

An ad hoc methodology for voxel-based geometry reconstruction is proposed. The
reconstruction procedure outlined is fully automated and allows transforming explicit voxel …

Closed-cell metal foams are lightweight and durable materials resistant to high temperature
and harsh conditions, but due to their fully closed porosity they are poor airborne sound …

Ballast impacts can initiate surface defects that cause abrupt failure of the axle and
derailment of the railway vehicle. According to the Federal Railroad Administration the axle …

Abstract 3D image-based finite element (FE) modelling provides the feasibility to explore
how the subtle structural features inside metallic foams affect their complex deformation and …

Mesomodels for masonry and historical structures typically focus on regular bond masonry,
for which the geometrical description and the discretization are straightforward. The present …

This study presents an imaged-based shell modelling strategy for closed cell metallic foams
exploiting X-ray Computed Tomography scans, with its illustration on ALCORAS® foams …

This work emphasizes on the Periodic Boundary Condition (PBC) utilized in the Finite
