Abstract
Aluminium foam – polymer hybrids set-up from small volume spherical aluminium foam elements joined by adhesive bonding were subjected to uniaxial compressive loads. Deformation patterns are displayed and discussed. The influence of foam element volume and density as well as strength of polymer joints on the hybrid's mechanical properties are outlined. A simplifying model for prediction of the hybrid's deformation properties is developed and discussed.
