Abstract

One of the most important targets in vehicle design is passive safety; this more and more stringent requirement leads the designer towards new vehicle architectural solutions and innovative materials. Aluminium foams are a new class of materials with promise an improvement of vehicle crashworthiness, combining the properties derived from the cellular structure, in particular the lightness, with the typical behavior of metals.
