- Abstract
Despite a relatively young history, metal foams have had an extensive impact on the industry. With ties to military defense, automobile safety, and jet engine sound dampening, metal foams have been optimized to successfully withstand strenuous circumstances. Applications of metal foams in the industry have led to increased safety, superior mechanical properties, and versatility in recent years. This research paper specifically looks at the sound dampening and energy absorption qualities of aluminum A356 foam, through compression and acoustic testing.
