This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

Abstract The Gibson-Ashby (GA) model has been instrumental in the design of additively
manufactured (AM-ed) metal lattice materials or mechanical metamaterials. The first part of …

Fast improvements in technology causes to provide the ability to manipulate porous graded
materials for using in directed design of micro/nano-structures. The prime objective of the …

Motivated by recent experimental investigations of the mechanical behavior of nanoporous
metal we explore an efficient and robust method for generating 3D representative volume …

The strength and elastic modulus of macroscopic nanoporous Au samples are much lower
than that predicted by using Gibson-Ashby scaling laws. Here we attribute this discrepancy …

We investigate the nonlinear bending behavior of nanoporous metal foam plates within the
framework of isogeometric analysis (IGA) and higher-order plate theory. The nonlocal strain …

This study addresses the influence of pore size variation on the effective thermal conductivity
of open-cell foam structures. Numerical design procedure which renders it possible to …

We report that in a Pt-doped nanoporous Au (Ag), while the network connectivity was
maintained constant, the elastic modulus (E) varied with relative density (φ) in a power-law …

This research is devoted to the wave propagation characteristics analysis of nanobeams
made of nanoporous metal foams. Three nanoporosity distribution models, namely …

The paper concerns the numerical design of novel three-dimensional titanium scaffolds with
complex open-porous structures and desired mechanical properties for the Powder Bed …
