Cellular materials, especially foams, are widely used in several applications because of their
special mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Their properties are determined by …

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 …

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 …

Aluminum foams are gaining increasing interest because of their widespread set of
functional attributes combined with highly specific structural properties and affordable …

Closed-cell aluminium foam was represented with a new type of repeating unit-cell (RUC)
constructed from the tetrakaidecahedra structure. After that the thin shell geometrical …

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 contribution addresses the multiscale computational modelling of closed cell metallic
foams by means of an integrated Representative Volume Element (RVE) generation and …

The bulk mechanical properties of a foam are strongly related with the modulus of elasticity
and yield strength of the base material and the geometric features of the foam …

In situ compressive tests on specially designed small samples made from brittle metallic
foams were accomplished in a loading device equipped in the scanning electron …

A general and widely tunable method for the generation of representative volume elements
for cellular materials based on distance and level set functions is presented. The approach …
