“…Finally, dynamic compressive behaviour of novel cellular materials, e.g. functionally graded [82-84, 293, 294] and hierarchical [85][86][87] cellular materials, and cellular composites [295][296][297], as well as hypervelocity compressive behaviour [9,10] and multiaxial compression (or combined loading), deserve further research.…”

This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Highlights  Dynamic plastic properties, deformation modes, constitutive relations and shock states are described  Experimental observations in the quasi-static, transitional dynamic and shock regimes are presented  Mechanisms associated with inertia, enclosed gas and microscopic strain-rate sensitivity of base material are elucidated  Mesoscopic modelling and its applications are discussed with regard to idealised and realistic cell structures  Macroscopic continuum-based modelling for compression-dominated loading is summarised and commented

“…"Closed cell metal foam was first announced in 1926 by M.A. DeMeller in his French Patent 615,147" [24].Composite metal foams are lightweight, reduce collision penetration and can cope with fire temperatures twice that of the metals of which they are comprised [25]. Robust metal-ceramic foam forms a part of the hulls and superstructures of many boats and ships already afloat upon the world's mutable ocean as well as our planet's navigable lakes and rivers [26].…”

Based mainly on the Fourier Law valid for parallel material layer temperature gradients, a massive floating seawater desalination macro-project almost entirely covering the Golfo de Cariaco, NE Venezuela, is proposed. The purpose of the geographically-scalable unsinkable Fountain-Barge Desalination Factory (FBDF) formed chiefly of composite metal foam is bulk freshwater production then to be utilized domestically for commercial crop irrigation and urban population maintenance and increase. Brine reject from the huge FBDF could allow 21st Century development of a commercial aquaculture industry during a potential local encompassing region BSw Koppen Climatic Classification change as well as adjacent southern Caribbean Sea changes [1].Key words: Freshwater production, aquaculture industry, solar thermal-powered desalination fountain-barge.===========================================================================Com fundamento na Lei de Fourier, válida para gradientes de temperatura em camadas paralelas de material, propõe-se um macroprojeto flutuante de dessalinização da água do mar cobrindo quase inteiramente o Golfo de Cariaco, NE Venezuela. O objetivo da Fountain-Barge Desalination Factory (FBDF), geograficamente escalável e formada principalmente de espuma de metal compósito, é a produção de água doce para ser utilizada em residências, em irrigação comercial e demais aplicações da população urbana. A rejeição de salmoura da grande FBDF poderia permitir o desenvolvimento, no século XXI, de uma indústria de aquacultura coetânea à potencial transformação da região de BSw Koppen, assim como às mudanças adjacentes no sul do Caribe [1].Palavras-chave: Dessalinização da água do mar, indústria de aquacultura, barcaça-fonte termosolar.

“…For a different type of syntactic foams, the so-called composite metal foams as developed by Neville and Rabiei based on metallic hollow spheres [ 97 , 98 , 99 ], the adverse effect of hollow spheres on matrix porosity levels is believed to be somewhat alleviated by the expansion of gases within the hollow spheres, through which a certain level of pressure is exerted on the matrix between spheres during sintering. Densification is assumed to be supported by this effect.…”

From Stochastic Foam to Designed Structure: Balancing Cost and Performance of Cellular Metals

Over the past two decades, a large number of metallic foams have been developed. In recent years research on this multi-functional material class has further intensified. However, despite their unique properties only a limited number of large-scale applications have emerged. One important reason for this sluggish uptake is their high cost. Many cellular metals require expensive raw materials, complex manufacturing procedures, or a combination thereof. Some attempts have been made to decrease costs by introducing novel foams based on cheaper components and new manufacturing procedures. However, this has often yielded materials with unreliable properties that inhibit utilization of their full potential. The resulting balance between cost and performance of cellular metals is probed in this editorial, which attempts to consider cost not in absolute figures, but in relation to performance. To approach such a distinction, an alternative classification of cellular metals is suggested which centers on structural aspects and the effort of realizing them. The range thus covered extends from fully stochastic foams to cellular structures designed-to-purpose.
