The multifunctional performance of stochastic (foamed) cellular metals is now well documented.
This article compares such materials with the projected capabilities of materials with …

… This moment is related to the remote stress by M∝FL∝σL 3 . Assembling … M=18; it has no
mechanism and many possible states of self-stress. It is one of many structures for which M≥0, …

Many two-phase alloys work-harden much faster than do pure single crystals. This is because
the two phases are not equally easy to deform. One component (often dispersed as small …

… The effect becomes pronounced when the indent size, grain size or particle spacing lies
below approximately 10 #m. These effects may not all have the same explanation, but it is clear …

… The lower part of the figure shows how the oar stiffness is measured: a 10 kg weight is hung
on the oar 2.05 m from the collar and the deflection at this point is measured. A soft oar will …

accordance with the … They range in price from US$100,000 to more than US$60m per ton. …

… Mechanical property scaling relations have been established by Gibson and Ashby in their
comprehensive text of Cellular Solids[1]. Results pertinent to metals are emphasized here[2]. …
