In this paper, a novel aluminum foam structure with wave attenuation and ventilation performance suitable for underground space is designed and prepared. It focuses on dynamic response of aluminum foam structure under explosion impact load and ventilation resistance at different wind speeds. Failure modes of each component are analyzed and attenuation mechanism of explosive shock wave are revealed. The results indicate that: under the synergistic action of the crushing behavior of the aluminum foam cells, the rough wall structure of the ventilation holes and the special diagonal square honeycomb-shaped structure, the wave attenuation effect of the aluminum foam structure is significantly improved. The max wave attenuation rate can reach to 99.1%. For this aluminum foam structure, the wind speeds are 4.32 m/s and 9.31 m/s while the ventilation resistances are 119.46 Pa and 641.44 Pa. It indicates its excellent ventilation performance. Therefore, the novel aluminum foam structure has a good application prospect in underground space construction.

Sandwich structures are known for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and are being increasingly used in the automotive, aerospace, marine, and construction sectors. These structures may also offer promising designs for other fields such as biomedical fixation devices, in which the combination of lightness and stiffness is of paramount importance. This study investigated the potential of fabricating orthopedic external ring fixators from sandwich panels to develop innovative designs and broaden the scope of sandwich-structure applications.

Over the past few decades, researchers have focused on developing new compositions and preparation techniques for geopolymers, as multifunctional products, to optimize their characteristics for use in multiple applications. Therefore, this paper investigates metakaolin geopolymer foam and introduces new geopolymer foams based on hybrid metakaolin and wollastonite mineral precursors for water purification. The geopolymer foams were prepared using an alkaline activator, mineral-based powders (wollastonite and metakaolin), a foaming agent (aluminum powder), and a foam stabilizer (olive oil).

The interfacial mechanical characteristics of sandwich structures are crucial in defining the comprehensive mechanical performance of the whole structure. Nevertheless, in practical applications, the interface often emerges as the weakest segment due to potential defects in the interface of porous metal sandwich plates (PMSP). This study aims to explore the regulatory mechanisms influencing the mechanical characteristics of nano-SiO-reinforced aluminum foam sandwich structure (AFS) interfaces and to propose an effective strategy to achieve AFS interfaces with superior and stable mechanical properties.

The porous structure, in which many pores are intentionally placed inside the material, has excellent impact energy absorption properties. Recent studies have attempted to fabricate multi-layered porous structures with different mechanical properties within a single porous structure sample, and the mechanical properties of these structures are being elucidated. However, these studies mainly attempted to vary the densities, pore structures, and alloy compositions within a single material, such as aluminum, for the entire sample.
