Investigation of Damping in Porous Metal Foams
Abstract
Damping in materials and structure is known by the dissipation of energy over time under eventual action of an excitation called force. It is crucial characteristics in various engineering applications including civil engineering, mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering. It contributes to the safety, performances and longevity of these structures as well as the designed damping systems can improve the comfort and reliability of a wide range of engineering applications from everyday vehicles and machine to large scale engineering projects. The aim of this paper is to investigate damping mechanism in porous metal foams, the influence of different parameter such as porosity and microstructure on the damping phenomena and some practical implications. This research unlocks full potential of metal foams for vibration control and energy dissipation, advancing engineering solutions for a wide range of industries.
