“…Recently, based on the multi-material concept, hybrid structures have been developed by combining the periodic open-cell aluminium foams [20][21][22][23][24][25] or Advanced Pore Morphology (APM) foam elements [26][27][28][29][30] with polymers in which the voids of an open-cell aluminium foams are completely infiltrated with a polymer. Results have demonstrated that the polymer lead to an enhancement of the compressive strength and energy absorption of the resulting hybrid structures compared to the conventional opencell aluminium foams.…”

“…We believe that in this way it is possible to achieve desired functionality necessary to satisfy requirements of a specific application. Few works have been published in this field [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], developing and testing hybrid foams based on both metal open-cell structures [12][13][14][15] and closed-cell foams [16][17][18][19]. Herein, further research in this field is presented in which the hybrid foam specimens of different sizes, combining aluminium alloy open-cell foam and two different polymer types, were developed, fabricated, tested and mechanically characterized.…”

Crush performance of multifunctional hybrid foams based on an aluminium alloy open-cell foam skeleton

Multifunctional hybrid foams were developed and tested by combining aluminium alloy open-cell (OC) foam specimens with polymers, epoxy resin and silicone rubber. The rectangular OC foam specimens were impregnated with polymer, completely filling the voids. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the polymer presence in the voids of aluminium alloy OC foam specimens (varying their size, e.g. height to width ratio) on the crush performance of the resulting hybrid foams. Quasi-static and dynamic uniaxial compressive tests and infrared thermography were used to compare the behaviour of hybrid foams with conventional (unfilled) OC foam specimens. Results show an improvement of the compressive strength and energy absorption capacity of hybrid foams, especially when infiltrated with epoxy resin. The results show that the epoxy leads to higher capacity of specific energy absorption of the hybrid foams, while silicone leads to lower capacity of specific energy absorption in comparison to the OC foam specimens. The high energy absorption values of

“…Such a decision is in order to clearly evaluate the effect of the foam core on the impact behavior of the component. After a preliminary research on the energy absorption for each sample, the impact tests have been carried out using the clamping device of the above mentioned drop weight impact machine (Fig. .b).…”

This work is part of scientific studies with the wider aim to produce components for aerospace industrial applications. Particularly, components with complex geometry are manufactured by using innovative technologies. The aim of this paper is to verify the technological feasibility of the manufacturing of components formed using Super Plastic Forming (hereinafter called SPF) process and filled with aluminum foam. The component under investigation is composed of an outer layer of a thin sheet in titanium alloy, formed by SPF technology, and a core in aluminum foam manufactured by the powder compact melting technique. Drop weight impact tests have been carried out with the aim to estimate the improvement of the innovative component in terms of energy absorption compared to the sum of the single constituents. The results have showed significant improvements in the energy absorption capability, proving that the proposed concept is technically promising
