Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to contribute your research paper, review article or communication paper for peer review and possible publication to the following Special Issue: “Metal Foams 2021”. This Special Issue considers all original papers that cover a broad spectrum of metal foams and metal foam sandwich panels from their manufacturing and application to evaluation of their properties (mechanical, microstructural, thermal, corrosion, welding, biocompatibility, etc.) and their computational modeling.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In the last decades, great attention has been focused on the characterization of cellular foams, because of their morphological peculiarities that allow for obtaining effective combinations of structural properties. A predictive analytical model for the compressive behavior of closed-cell Al foams, based on the correlation between the morphology of the cellular structure and its mechanical response, was developed. The cells’ morphology of cylindrical specimens was investigated at different steps of compression by X-ray computed tomography, in order to detect the collapse evolution. The structure, typically inhomogeneous at local level, was represented by developing a global virtual model consisting of homogeneous cells ordered in space, that was fitted on the experimentally detected structure at each deformation step. As a result, the main parameters characterizing the two-dimensional cells morphology (equivalent diameter, circularity), processed by the model, allowed to simulate the whole compression stress–strain curve by enveloping those obtained for each step. The model, fitted on the previous foam, was validated by comparing the simulated stress–strain curve and the corresponding experimental one, detected for similar foams obtained by different powder compositions. The effectiveness in terms of an accurate prediction of the compression response up to the final densification regime has been confirmed. Full article
