- Additional information
- This study is the first to apply DEM methods to accurately replicate the structures of porous metals. The outcomes have laid a foundation for a virtual approach to designing and simulating the performance of porous structures (underpinning a current EPSRC/DTP PhD project) and has informed the manufacturing know-how and simulation strategies to enable follow-on studies to accurately predict fluid flow (Acta Materialia, 149 (2018) 265-273) and sound absorption (Applied Acoustics 151 (2019) 164–171) though these unique structures.
