Mechanical properties of a density-graded replicated aluminum foam
نویسندگان
چکیده
The compressive mechanical properties of uniform and density-graded Al-6061 foams, produced by replication of polymer foams, are measured. hile the uniform foam shows compressive behavior characteristic of conventional (uniform) metallic foams with a near constant plateau stress, he density-graded foam exhibits a smoothly rising plateau stress. This behavior is modeled using a simple series composite model based on emi-empirical scaling relationships for the compressive behavior of uniform foams. 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملInfluence of Different Foaming Conditions on the Mechanical, Physical, and Structural Properties of Polypropylene Foam
In this article, the effects of different foam production times and temperatures on the mechanical, physical, and structural properties of polypropylene (PP) foam has been investigated. The microcellular PP foams were carried out using supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) as a physical foaming agent in a batch process. The samples were placed in a pressure vessel and were saturated ...
متن کاملDensity-Graded Cellular Aluminum
Conventional metallic foam processing seeks to maximize uniformity in pore size, relative density, and other aspects of foam structure in order to minimize property variation associated with the statistical nature of foams, and thereby increase their reliability in service. However, property uniformity is in many cases an inefficient approach to meeting overall design criteria, as demonstrated ...

In this article, the results of a study on energy absorption characteristics of foam-filled thin-walled structures with finite element analysis have been presented. Four specimens of thin walled structures have been filled with uniform foam and three specimens have been filled with linear four-layered foam. Also, eight layers HLH (High-Low-High) and eight layers LHL (Low-High-Low) have been sim...
متن کاملInvestigation on Mechanical Behavior Stir Soldering of Aluminum Foam Sandwich Panels
This paper introduces a novel soldering method for joining aluminum foams to aluminum plates. In this method, a rotating aluminum plate is soldered to the aluminum foam using zinc-based solder material. Rotation of the aluminum plate over the solder material drags the solder material and stirring it. Excellent tensile strength was obtained compared to those samples that are welded with the sold...
