simulated body fluid, which has ion concentrations matching those of human blood plasma, induces an apatite coating on the strut surfaces of the foam (Levine et al., 2006). Bone ingrowth into the tantalum foam has been measured by ...
Along with the rise of today's issues such as energy-efficiency and thermal balance of machinery, the interest on cellular solids in engineering applications has increased. During the last decades metal foam, which belongs to the class ...
The book, for the first time, systematically adopts experimental, numerical, and analytical approaches, presents the fluid flow and heat transfer in periodic cellular metals under forced convection conditions, aiming to establish structure ...
The book, authored by leading experts in this emerging field, gives an overview of the main aspects related to the processing of diverse cellular ceramic structures, methods of structural and properties characterisation and well established ...
presence of sucrose in the dried gel solid matrix increased the brittleness of the cellular solid. ... The more brittle cellular solids had a “richer” acoustic signature whose apparent fractal dimension was determined with a “blanket” ...
Deriving the macro-mechanical properties of a micro-structured material from the micro-mechanical behavior is a process called homogenization. The aim of homogenization is the reduction of the number of the degrees-offreedom in the ...
However, the relative densities of heartwood can range well above those of commercial cellular solids (between 0.09 and 0.94). The cell wall lumens in heartwood can be obstructed with phenolic residues and cell wall protrusions.
This is a compendium of reviewed articles presented at the 11th EUROMECH-MECAMAT conference entitled, "Mechancis of microstructured solids: cellular materials, fibre reinforced solids and soft tissues.

The word cellular solid originates from the word cell, which in turn is derived from the Latin cella ± a small compartment, an enclosed space. Connecting the solid edges is a simple way to fill space with unique structures, ...
