Mechanical Properties of Nanoporous Au: From Empirical Evidence to Phenomenological Modeling

The present work focuses on the development of a theoretical model aimed at relating the mechanical properties of nanoporous metals to the bending response of thick ligaments. The model describes the structure of nanoporous metal foams in terms of an idealized regular lattice of massive cubic nodes...
