Uniaxial compression tests of aluminium foams

Abstract: Some cellular aluminium materials have been extensively developed and investigated in recent years. The potential for applying aluminium foams in lightweight construction is mainly based on the stiVness and impact absorption. Because of these characteristics, this work is based mainly on the uniaxial compression resistance of aluminium foam. The aluminium foam was formed with three diVerent compaction presses to verify the in¯uence on density and, subsequently, crushing resistance
