Study on the Interface Bonding and Bending Fatigue Properties of Aluminum Alloy Foam Sandwich

Foam materials have many attractive properties because of their low-weight and cell structure. By sandwiches with an aluminum-foam core, it is possible to obtain higher structural stiffness and rigidity, maintain stability against buckling and additionally make use of the high energy dissipation capability of the bare foams. The most obvious and straightforward one is adhesive bonding of pre-fabricated aluminum foams and metal face sheets. A new manufacture processing is proposed for preparation of aluminum...
