Metal porous foams have been eliciting much interest in recent years due to their high capacity of energy absorption. The characteristics of the pores in these materials play an important role on their energy absorption capability and other properties. This study reports the fabrication of aluminum closed-cell foams by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) technique using calcium carbonate (CaCO3) as...

Porosity and saturation are fundamental sedimentary properties that affect both seismic wave propagation and appraisal development and production of an oil field. Traditionally, these parameters have been estimated from seismic impedances and velocities using Biot-Gassman theory and/or or porosity-velocity relationships. However, when using theory to relate surface seismic attributes to reservo...

BACKGROUND The authors of this manuscript aimed to show the importance of porosity and condensation in health according to traditional Persian medicine (TPM) with consideration of new evidence in conventional medicine. METHODS Cardinal traditional medical and pharmacological texts were searched for the traditional terms of takhalkhol (porosity) and takassof (condensity) focused on preventive ...

Patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) are at increased fracture risk, and we have previously shown that MGUS patients have altered trabecular bone microarchitecture compared with controls. However, there are no data on whether the porosity of cortical bone, which may play a greater role in bone strength and the occurrence of fractures, is increased in MGUS. Thu...

The main objective of this work is quantitative evaluation of porosity in carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) with the help of X-ray computed tomography (XCT). For this purpose two types of sample were compared. Industrial porosity sample was obtained from an aeronautical industry. Artificially induced porosity samples were created by drilling holes with diameter 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm in non-po...
