TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation behavior of metal foams is investigated by uniaxial testing and a series of measurements were carried out where the orientation of the outer skin and the foaming direction were varied.

TL;DR: A powder metallurgical method which allows the production of aluminium foams with porosity levels up to 90% is described in this article, which typically have closed pores and densities ranging from 0.4 to 1 g cm−3.

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical damping properties of aluminium foams were measured and an experimental apparatus for measuring the loss factor avoiding parasitic damping was described and a procedure to overcome the problems was proposed and tested.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for fabricating metal foams based on the powder metallurgy process is presented, which allows for the production of complex-shaped foam parts, metal foam sandwich panels and foam filled hollow profiles.

TL;DR: The possibilities for making metallic foams or similar porous metal structures are reviewed in this paper, where various processes are classified according to the state of the starting metal - liquid, powdered, ionised.
