The subject of this study is the numerical and experimental analysis of bent aluminum tubes. The
specimens were filled with aluminum foam with a hole in the center. Due to the arrangement of
pores and the behavior of foam materials, they are widely used, particularly in energy absorption. The
numerical analysis was performed using the finite element method in Abaqus software. The material
model of aluminum foam in the area of plasticity was specified as Crushable Foam, which is dedicated
to metallic foams. The experimental test was carried out on a Comatech static testing machine with a
head range up to 2.5kN. The test was conducted as a three-point bend test. The results clearly show
an increase in CLE up to 27 percentage points models with aluminum foam. This shows a positive
effect on the use of porous material fillings to varying degrees depending on the expected results.
