Closed-cell aluminum foam is used in different fields, such as aerospace, structural, railway, shipbuilding, and many others, because of its lightweight, sound and vibration absorption properties, excellent heat insulation, non-combustibility, environmental friendliness, mechanical damping, and many other properties. A closed-cell aluminum foam have a complex internal structure, which makes it challenging to build its 3D and 2D geometric models for further studies. This study aims to conduct a parametric modeling of the closed-cell aluminum foam using CT (computed tomography) images of the foam to reconstruct 3D models with Materialise Mimics V26 software and 3-Matics V18 (its twin). The reconstruction will be conducted by varying different parameters, like segmentation and other mesh-processing parameters, to develop models. The geometric properties of these models will be compared to the actual measured geometric properties to determine which set of parameters gives the accurate model.50enComputer Tomography (CT)Closed-cell aluminumGeometric modellingMaterialise MimicsMetal foamsEngineering SciencesHozzáférhető a 2022 decemberi felsőoktatási törvénymódosítás értelmében.
