TL;DR: In this paper, synthetic foams were fabricated by liquid metal infiltration of commercially pure and 7075 aluminum into preforms of hollow ceramic microspheres, which exhibited peak strength during quasi-static compression ranging from −100 to −230 MPa, while dynamic compression loading showed a 10-30% increase in peak strength magnitude, with strain rate sensitivities similar to those of aluminum-matrix composite materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, cylindrical samples of 316L SS were produced using a LENS MR-7 laser additive manufacturing system from Optomec (Albuquerque, NM) equipped with a 1.kW Yb-fiber laser.

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent homogenization model was proposed to predict the macroscopic mechanical response and texture evolution of α-uranium over a wide range of temperatures and strain rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the compressive constitutive behavior of a closed-cell aluminum foam (ALPORAS) manufactured by Shinko Wire Co. in Japan was evaluated under static and dynamic loading conditions as a function of temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the mechanical response of three different industrial forms of polyethylene, namely, high-density polyethylenes (HDPE), ultra high molecular weight polyethylen (UHMWPE), and cross-linked polyethyleni (PEX), in compression as a function of temperature and strain-rate.
