Multifunctional metallic hollow sphere structures: manufacturing, properties and application

Multifunctional Metallic Hollow Sphere Structures are an emerging new material category, belonging like metal foams to the class cellular metals. Thanks totheir advantageous mechanical and sound absorbing properties, MultifunctionalMetallic Hollow Sphere Structures are very promising for various applicationsand our technological knowledge makes them ready for industrial usage. This reference gives a complete overview on this new materials class, the fundamentals, the applications and the perspective for future use. It provides the foundations for a profound understanding (production and processing), their physical properties (surface properties and stalility) and applicaltion (in particular for sound absorption and chemical adsorption in structural parts). The book is written for material scientists, product designers and developers as well as academic researches and scientists. First book on these very new materials class, promising for a broad spectrum of applications Written by the leading experts INDICE: Introduction: Cellular materials.- History and manufacturing of metallic hollow spheres and structures .- Elasto-plastic properties – simulationand experiment.- Vibro-Acoustic properties of HSS.- Thermal properties of hollow spheres.- Hollow spheres in composite materials.- Dynamic behaviour of metallic hollow sphere structures.- Hollow spheres cast in a metallic matrix.- Hollow spheres cast in massive metal components.- Hollow spheres with catalytic and adsorbentic properties.- Problems in the identification of application areas of hollow sphere structures.
