Based on first-order shear deformation theory, a wave propagation model of graphene platelets reinforced metal foams (GPLRMFs) circular plates is built in this paper. The expressions of phase-/group- velocities and wave number are obtained by using Laplace integral transformation and Hankel integral transformation. The effects of GPLs pattern, foams distribution, GPLs weight fraction and foam coefficient on the phase and group velocity of GPLRMFs circular plates are discussed in detail. It can be inferred that GPLs distribution have great impacts on the wave propagation problems, and Porosity-I type distribution has the largest phase velocity and group velocity, followed by Porosity-III, and finally Porosity-II; With the increase of the GPLs weight fraction, the phase- and group- velocities for the GPLRMFs circular plate will be increased; With the increase of the foam coefficient, the phase- and group- velocities for the GPLRMFs circular plate will be decreased.

Porous media containing complex fluid passage have especially large surface area per unit volume. This study is aimed to identify the heat transfer characteristics of high-porosity metal foams in a horizontal channel. Experiment is performed under various heat flux, velocity and pore density. Nusselt number decreases with higher pore density. Metal foams shows higher heat transfer coefficients than pin-fin structure with the same porosity. This is due to the more complex flow passage and larger heat transfer area based on the structure of the metal foams. The analysis on the pin-fin structure may not be suitable to the metal foam structure but should be identified extensively through further study.

Although some scholars have studied the thermal post-buckling of graphene platelets strengthened metal foams (GPLRMFs) plates, they have not considered the influence of initial geometrical imperfection. Inspired by this fact, the present paper studies the thermal post-buckling characteristics of GPLRMFs plates with initial geometrical imperfection. Three kinds of graphene platelets (GPLs) distribution patterns including three patterns have been considered. The governing equations are derived according to the first-order plate theory and solved with the help of the Galerkin method. According to the comparison with published paper, the accuracy and correctness of the present research are verified. In the end, the effects of material properties and initial geometrical imperfection on the thermal post-buckling response of the GPLRMFs plates are examined. It can be found that the presence of initial geometrical imperfection reduces the thermal post-buckling strength. In addition, the present study indicates that GPL-A pattern is best way to improve thermal post-buckling strength for GPLRMFs plates, and the presence of foams can improve the thermal post-buckling strength of GPLRMFs plates, the Foam- II and Foam- I patterns have the lowest and highest thermal post-buckling strength. Our research can provide guidance for the thermal stability analysis of GPLRMFs plates.

Metal foams have a cellular structure consisting of a solid metal containing a large volume fraction of pores. In particular, open, penetrating pores are necessary for industrial applications such as in high temperature filters and as a support for catalysts. In this study, Fe foam with above 90% porosity and 2 millimeter pore size was successfully fabricated by a slurry coating process and the pore properties were characterized. The Fe and $Fe_2O_3$ powder mixing ratios were controlled to produce Fe foams with different pore size and porosity. First, the slurry was prepared by uniform mixing with powders, distilled water and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA). After slurry coating on the polyurethane(PU) foam, the sample was dried at $80^{\circ}C$. The PVA and PU foams were then removed by heating at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The debinded samples were subsequently sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ with a holding time of 3 hours under hydrogen atmosphere. The three dimensional geometries of the obtained Fe foams with an open cell structure were investigated using X-ray micro CT(computed tomography) as well as the pore morphology, size and phase. The coated amount of slurry on the PU foam were increased with $Fe_2O_3$ mixing powder ratio but the shrinkage and porosity of Fe foams were decreased with $Fe_2O_3$ mixing powder ratio.

본 연구에서는 금속수산화물과 다양한 인계 난연제를 포함한 난연 acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) 발포체를 제조하고, 이때 인 함유량에 따른 열적특성. 난연특성, 발포특성 등의 변화 및 이들의 상관관계를 조사하였다. NBR 발포체의 발포특성 및 모폴로지 분석 결과 인/질소계 난연제 10 phr 범위 내에서 대체적으로 인/질소계 난연제를 투입하지 않은 금속수산화물만을 사용한 경우와 유사한 발포특성 및 모폴로지를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 열 분석에서는 인 함유량이 많은 인/질소계 난연제를 사용할 경우 화염분위기 하에서의 char 형성과 관련한 잔류량이 많아짐으로써 난연성이 향상됨을, LOI 분석에서도 인 함유량이 증가함에 따라 LOI가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. cone-calorimeter 분석 결과 열 및 LOI 분석 결과와 유사한 경향성을, 인 함유량이 증가함에 따라 HRR, THR, EHC 등이 감소하는 반면에 COY는 증가함을, 즉 난연성이 상승함을 확인할 수 있었다. 연기밀도 분석 결과 cone-calorimeter 분석에서의 (A)-COY와 같은 경향성을 보여주었다.

Due to the unclear mechanism of the influence of temperature on the resonance problem of doubly curved shells, this article aims to explore this issue. When the ambient temperature rises, the composite structure will expand. If the thermal effects are considered, the resonance response will become more complex. In the design of structure, thermal effect is inevitable. Therefore, it is of significance to study the resonant behavior of doubly curved shell structures in thermal environment. In view of this, this paper extends the previous work (She and Ding 2023) to the case of the nonlinear principal resonance behavior of graphene platelet reinforced metal foams (GPLRMFs) doubly curved shells in thermal environment. The effect of uniform temperature field is taken into consideration in the constitutive equation, and the nonlinear motion control equation considering temperature effect is derived. The modified Lindstedt Poincare (MLP) method is used to obtain the resonance response of doubly curved shells. Finally, we study the effects of temperature changes, shell types, material parameters, initial geometric imperfection and prestress on the forced vibration behaviors. It can be found that, as the temperature goes up, the resonance position can be advanced.

Conical shell is a common engineering structure, which is widely used in machinery, civil and construction fields. Most of them are usually exposed to external environments, temperature is an important factor affecting its performance. If the external temperature is too high, the deformation of the conical shell will occur, leading to a decrease in stability. Therefore, studying the thermal-post buckling behavior of conical shells is of great significance. This article takes graphene platelets reinforced metal foams (GPLRMF) conical shells as the research object, and uses high-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) to study the thermal post-buckling behaviors. Based on general variational principle, the governing equation of a GPLRMF conical shell is deduced, and discretized and solved by Galerkin method to obtain the critical buckling temperature and thermal post-buckling response of conical shells under various influencing factors. Finally, the effects of cone angles, GPLs distribution types, GPLs mass fraction, porosity distribution types and porosity coefficient on the thermal post-buckling behaviors of conical shells are analyzed in detail. The results show that the cone angle has a significant impact on the nonlinear thermal stability of the conical shells.

Polymeric foams are excellent energy absorber and have found a wide range of applications especially in the automotive industry. The purpose of the present study is to develop experimental and theoretical methodology to characterize the pressure dependent yield behavior of polymeric foams. For the compression test in a triaxial stress sate a specially designed device was placed in a press machine to produce and control oil pressure. From the experiment results it was observed that the size of Mother circles is changed with mean normal stress in contrast to general metal. Then the Coulomb-Mohr criterion was applied to the data.
