✦ Synopsis

Cellular aluminium foams exhibits complicated structures. 3D analysis is therefore of crucial importance to improve mechanical performance of such foams. The aim of this study was to investigate the compressive and damage behaviour of Al foams. Using the local tomography technique and an in‐situ test rig, the relations between microstructural features and fracture behaviour were assessed by the 3D local strain mapping.
