摘要
Lightweight cellular materials can be used in the construction of composite plates, shells and tubes with high structural efficiency. Metallic sandwich construction with integrally bonded Face-sheet/foam core configurations offer a cost-efficient alternative to conventional skin-stringer and honeycomb core components. The potential effectiveness of such constructions is dependent on the properties and performance of the core materials. In this study, aluminum foams made by two liquid-state production methods are considered. The cellular structure and mechanical properties of these foams are investigated, and the influence of the production method on the structural performance of the materials is discussed.
