Experimental response of full‐scale steel‐aluminium foam‐steel sandwich panels in bending
ce/papers, Volume 6, Issue 3-4, Page 452-457, September 2023., 2023 Abstract The introduction of metal foams into the building market represents a significant opportunity to increase the use of metal in construction. Developing new structural products made of metal foams and steel could improve conventional buildings' performances in terms of stiffness and resistance.
