Abstract
AbstractDue to the high energy‐absorption potential of metal foams and their excellent weight‐to‐stiffness ratio, metal foams in car seats may contribute to both increasing passenger safety and also weight reduction. An overview and the first results of a research project to apply cellular metals as energy‐absorbing components in car seats in case of a crash are discussed. The project aims are material optimization and the generation of standards and design criteria for a novel technical application of metal foams. The first results reveal the microstructure and mechanical behavior of different metal foams and metal‐foam/metal‐sheet sandwich structures.
