Tuning machine components by means of A\MakeLowercasel foam

Abstract

Contribution refers to the possibility of tuning the machine components by means of Al foam. Closed cells Al foams with isotropic properties and with various densities are used in the computational model. Targetting the tuning is an attempt for requirement change values of the stresses, deformations, eigenfrequencies, etc. Increment of the weight in relation to required values of the tuned parameters is the most followed parameter.
