IMPACT BEHAVIOUR AND ENERGY DISSIPATION IN METALLIC THIN-WALLED HOLLOW SPHERES

Metallic foams made of thin-walled hollow spheres are attractive in applications where weight saving is a critical issue. In this work, an experimentally validated finite element model was developed to investigate the impact behaviour and energy dissipation capacity of single hollow spheres, both of...
