ENERGY ABSORPTION PROPERTIES OF CELLULAR ALUMINUM

Abstract

The scope of this study covers the optimization of materials and structures of cellular aluminum with respect to applications requiring controlled dissipation of kinetic energy. A design of a linear energy dissipation system is suggested, and its effective operation demonstrated. Conclusions are presented relative to the effect of material properties on energy dissipation characteristics.
