low frequencies, and the selection line is less steep. If k D1, the selection line<br />
becomes horizontal and the selection task becomes one of choosing materials<br />
with the highest value of ω1, exactly as for the undamped case.<br />
Figure 12.5 shows data for metal foams. <strong>Metal</strong> foam panels and sandwich<br />
panels with metfoam cores have attractive values of M0 d , because of their high<br />
flexural stiffness and their relatively high damping capacity. The Alporas range<br />
of foams offers particularly good performance. For comparison, aluminum<br />
alloys have a values of Mu in the range 1.6–1.8 and damping coefficients, ,<br />
in the range 10 4 2 ð 10 3 in the same units as those of the figure.<br />

index. Mu D E1 /3 / and the damping coefficient Md D . All the materials<br />
shown are metal foams, and all have better performance, measured by the<br />
index M0 d than the solid metals from which they are made<br />
