Cellular metals and designed porous structures are attractive, lightweight structural materials with potential applications in the transportation, electronics, biomedical, defense, building, and energy-based industries. Metal foams, sponge-like metals, and periodic geometry core structures are increasingly being considered as solutions to problems such as lightweight construction, heat exchangers, passive safety, sound dampening, filtering, and thermal stability. Momentum for the widespread use of cellular metal technology has been rising, but the field still remains at an early developmental stage. Processing and Properties of Lightweight Cellular Metals and Structures captures the current status of this emerging enabling technology. This book underscores the scientific community's enthusiasm in the outstanding potential of this unique group of materials and structures and hopes to stimulate even greater interest among research sponsors and industry. Papers cover a variety of key areas of development, such as new design concepts and functional properties, new processing technologies, microstructure and property characterization, reinforcement of foam metals, modeling of properties, component fabrication, and applications.

In this new edition of their classic work on Cellular Solids, the authors have brought the book completely up to date, including new work on processing of metallic and ceramic foams and on the mechanical, electrical and acoustic properties of cellular solids. Data for commercially available foams are presented on material property charts; two new case studies show how the charts are used for selection of foams in engineering design. Over 150 references appearing in the literature since the publication of the first edition are cited. The text summarises current understanding of the structure and mechanical behaviour of cellular materials, and the ways in which they can be exploited in engineering design. Cellular solids include engineering honeycombs and foams (which can now be made from polymers, metals, ceramics and composites) as well as natural materials, such as wood, cork and cancellous bone.

Composed of a series of essays, this book deals with the broad issues affecting the nature of architectural materials and provides a focused review of the state of the art materials. It also provides designers with the tools they need to evaluate and select from the thousands of different materials that are available to them. The book is organized into three sections; ‘Time’ looks at how the materials used in architectural design have changed over the years showing how we have come to use the materials we do in contemporary design. ‘Materials’ covers all five material families; metals, polymers, ceramics, composites and natural materials giving in depth information on their properties, behavior, origins and uses in design. It also introduces a review of the cutting edge research for each family. ‘Systems’ outlines the technical design-orientated research that uncovers how new architectural assemblies can be designed and engineered. All of this practical advice is given along with many real case examples illustrating how this knowledge and information has been, and can be, used in architectural design.
