Effect of Density and Thickness of Steel–Steel Composite Metal Foam on Its Full-Scale Torch Fire Response

Abstract

Composite Metal Foam

Composite metal foam (CMF) offers extraordinary mechanical and thermal properties due to the presence of encapsulated air inside its porosities. In article number 2401833, Afsaneh Rabiei and Nigel Amoafo-Yeboah outline a computational modeling to predict the thickness and density of a steel CMF to pass the required performance in a full-scale torch fire test based on the 49 Code of Federal Regulations, where they would withstand a 30-minute-high velocity jet fire at 1204 ± 55.6 °C.
