Abstract
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/01/2026] "Closed-cell aluminum foams represent a class of cellular metals whose unique combination of low density, high specific stiffness, and energy-absorption capacity makes them attractive for transportation, defense, and multifunctional engineering systems [1][2]. Their compressive stress–strain response is typically divided into three regimes: an initial linear elastic region governed by bending of intact cell walls, a long plateau region associated with progressive cell-wall buckling and collapse, and a densification regime where the porous structure collapses and the material transitions toward the response of the fully dense parent alloy [2][3]. This characteristic behavior, combined with manufacturability and tunable geometry (more recently) has positioned aluminum foams as promising candidates for impact mitigation, vibration damping, thermal management, and lightweight structural design [4][5]". -- Introduction
