Abstract

In this chapter, yielding, fatigue, and creep are introduced and fundamentally described for metal foams. Metallic foams deforms differently from solid metals. This chapter highlights and describes yielding, fatigue, and creep behavior of metallic foams. The difference between yielding and plastic response of metal foams and the base metal is explained. Similarly, fatigue response of metallic foam is explained using constitutive laws placing emphasis on strength degradability under cycling loading. The chapter also addresses the creep response of metal foams.
