AlVis - An Aluminium-Foam Visualization and Investigation Tool
TR-186-2-99-23, December 1999 [ paper]
Information
  • Publication Type: Technical Report
  • Keywords: surface extraction, aluminum foam investigation

Abstract
In recent years there has been an increased interest in metal foams in the field of material science. The stress absorbing potential is one of the most interesting properties for the application of aluminium foam (e.g. car manufacturing). Material scientists need to investigate the structure of metal foams in order to optimize their deformation behavior. An interactive tool for the investigation is presented in this work. Real-time surface rendering, automatic parameter determination, and display of local and global foam properties enable the user to understand the complex structure of the metal foam.
