Metal matrix composites & metallic foams EUROMAT, Vol. 5

This book deals with MMCs and metallic foams. These can offer attractive combinations of properties, including high specific stiffness and good energy-absorbing properties, particularly under compressive loading.

Processing of particulate MMCs. Fracture and fatigue of particulate MMCs. Clustering effects in MMCs. Thermal properties of MMCs. Applications of MMCs. Processing of metallic foams. Characterization of metallic foams. Mechanical behavior of metallic foams. Energy absorption of metallic foams. Applications of metallic foams.
