Overview
- Provides insight into the fundamentals, applications, manufacturing aspects and properties of metal foams
- Focuses on aspects of designing simple structures by taking into account loading conditions under tensile, compressive or torsional stress for metals and their foams
- Addresses a topic which is of immediate interest as it provides one of the solutions to global warming through lightweight materials
- Demonstrates a wide applicability of Metal Foams for an array of industries ranging from infrastructural applications to engineering applications and biomedical applications
