The favorable energy-absorption properties of metal foams have been frequently proposed for damping or anti-crash applications. The aim of this paper is to investigate the endurance of these properties for composite structures, made by a metal or a hybrid metal-polymeric foam used as the core filling of a tubular metal case. The results of experimental tests are shown, run with two types of str...

Copper oxide (CuO) nanotubes were successfully converted from CuS nanowires embedded in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by annealing-induced diffusion in a confined tube-type space. The spreading of CuO and formation of CuO layer on the nanochannel surface of AAO, and the confinement offered by AAO nanochannels play a key role in the formation of CuO nanotubes.

It has been documented that AE signals propagate in thin plates as extensional and flexural plate modes. This was demonstrated using simulated AE sources (pencil lead breaks) by Gorman [1] on thin aluminum and gr/ep composite plates and by Gorman and Prosser [2] on thin aluminum plates. A typical signal from a pencil lead break source which identifies these two modes is shown in Figure 1. AE si...

Aluminum was a type of hard and soft material, because its high toughness, it easy to generate grinding heat, so polishing relatively difficult polish fire. has been used as processing material due excellent properties such lightness, corrosion resistance, non-magnetism, alloy strength, electrical conductivity, weight, heat dissipation. However, some problems arose when aluminum tubes. Thereby,...

Abstract The presented paper provides a modelling strategy for roll forming of high strength AA7075 aluminum tube. Roll allows the cost-effective production large quantities long profiles. Forming brings challenges like springback and poor formability due to low Young’s modulus, ductility yield strength. processes with aluminum, such as alloy, therefore require detailed process design. Three di...

When the thoracic somitic mesoderm was separated from the neural tube and the notochord with a piece of aluminum foil in two-day chick embryos, seven days after the operation ribs lacked their proximal part. The embryos were rescued by co-transplanting the notochord, the ventral half of neural tube, or QT6 cells transformed with Shh, on the somite side of the aluminum foil insert. Thus, proxima...

Aluminum and magnesium alloys are of materials for decreasing vehicle weight and consequently reducing fuel consumption. However, forming limitations regarding their low formability at room temperature are found when being manufactured by conventional forming processes. For this reason, development of new forming techniques, such as warm tube hydroforming, is needed to overcome such limitations...
