Mechanical Performances

In this paper, a comparison between two different machine tool columns is presented. The two columns are realized with a different technology: classic metalworking versus metal foam sandwiches. The aim of the experimental tests is the evaluation of their different mechanical performances and characteristics, with a particular focus on the dynamic response and on the convenience to consider system damping as a key parameter. This kind of comparison is generally believed as difficult, because the foam-filled structures usually show not-linear behavior, which makes not applicable the usual experimental modal procedures. The comparison is carried out in terms of both modal analysis and wide frequency range excitation, as described in the paper. A new method is introduced by the authors to deem which technology is the more suitable, based on overall dynamic response in a wide range of frequency, rather than on modal damping.

Rectangular Tubes

Large-deflection bending of fully clamped slender metal foam-filled rectangular tubes is investigated theoretically, experimentally and numerically. A plastic yield criterion for the foam-filled rectangular tube is proposed. Considering the filled foam strength effect and the interaction of bending and stretching, an analytical solution is proposed to predict the structural response of the foam-filled rectangular tubes transversely loaded by a flat punch. Clamped bending tests of aluminium alloy foam-filled rectangular tubes are conducted. The analytical model captures experimental results reasonably. Numerical calculations are carried out to predict the large-deflection behavior of the foam-filled tubes, and good agreement is achieved between the analytical solutions and numerical results. The effects of wall thickness of tube, punch size and filled foam strength are discussed in detail. It is demonstrated that the present analytical model can reasonably predict the post-yield behavior of the foam-filled rectangular tube.
