Cellular <strong>Materials</strong><br />
• This next section provides some basic information on<br />
cellular materials.<br />
• Why study cellular materials? Answer: cellular<br />
materials provide a range of properties that are not<br />
achievable in bulk materials. Especially when load<br />
carrying capacity at very low densities is required,<br />
only cellular materials can satisfy the requirements.<br />
Shock resistance is also a vital characteristic of<br />
cellular materials.<br />
• Cellular structures are feasible (<strong>and</strong> used for<br />
engineering applications) with all materials types.<br />
Metal honeycombs are used in transport applications.<br />
Ceramic foams are used in insulation. Cellular<br />
structures are ubiquitous in biomaterials (wood, bone,<br />
shells…).
