Experimental study of stress-strain behaviour of open-cell aluminium foam sandwich panel for automotive structural part

Because of high stiffness and strength to weight ratio, aluminium foam sandwich (AFS) has huge advantage in automotive industries in order to reduce the vehicle’s weight which consequently will reduce the fuel consumption. While reducing the weight, AFS must also maintain high strength and durabil...
