Transverse and longitudinal crushing of aluminum-foam filled tubes

Al-foam filled and empty tubes of aluminum, brass and titanium were compression tested laterally. The specific energy absorption in filled tubes increased greatly in terms of percentages, and was greatest in aluminum tubes. In transversely tested tubes the foam deformed laterally showing a capabilit...

More Information
Summary:Al-foam filled and empty tubes of aluminum, brass and titanium were compression tested laterally. The specific energy absorption in filled tubes increased greatly in terms of percentages, and was greatest in aluminum tubes. In transversely tested tubes the foam deformed laterally showing a capability of spreading the deformation.
