Aluminum foam (AF) has extensive application prospects due to its high specific strength
and specific energy absorption. However, low compressive strength and plateau stress of AF …

The interface bonding method has a great influence on the mechanical properties of
aluminum foam sandwich (AFS). This study aims to investigate the effect of different interface …

Experimental and numerical studies of composite sandwich structures are warranted to reap
the benefits of these materials when they are well designed. In the current research, new …

In this research, the bending resistance of sandwich beams with aluminum face-sheets and
graded polyurethane foam core with different densities were investigated. The effects of …

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP)/metal foam sandwiches with high strength-to-weight
ratios are in growing demand for applications in architecture, automobile, and aerospace …

In this study, structurally efficient carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) sandwiches were
developed via introducing pumice/Mg composite foams as new core material. The effects of …

We created a density-graded, open-cell, aluminum foam core sandwich (AFS) by joining,
alternately arranged Al sheets and three different relative density (ρ*= 7%, 29%, and, 42%) …

Combined shear—compression tests and simulations were performed on a closed-cell
aluminum foam over a wide range of loading angles in order to probe their yield behaviors …
