Metal foams may replace polymer foams in applications where multi‐functionality is important. For example it acts as a structural component in a sandwich panel but also as a cooling system or acoustic damper. Associated with sandwich panel geometry and change in loading one observes three failure modes: face sheet yield, core shearing and indentation under the loading roller.
