AbstractΓThe tensile and compressive stressΒ±strain behaviour of closed cell aluminium alloy foams (trade name ``Alulight'') has been measured and interpreted in terms of its microstructure. It is found that the foams are anisotropic, markedly inhomogeneous and have properties close to those expected

Methods of conducting and analysing instrumented Charpy impact tests have been discussed and applied in measuring the initiation fracture toughness, K,,, of two precipitation hardened Al-alloys. For full speed impact tests a method for indirectly deriving fracture load from "system stiffness" and "
The mechanical damping properties of aluminium foams were measured. An experimental apparatus for measuring the loss factor avoiding parasitic damping is described. The difficulties, originating from random spatial density variations, are discussed. A procedure to overcome the problems is proposed a
