Marston Mat, more properly called pierced (or perforated) steel planking (PSP), is standardized, perforated steel matting material developed by the United States at the Waterways Experiment Station shortly before World War II, primarily for the rapid construction of temporary runways and ...

3. Metallic microlattice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_microlattice

   A metallic microlattice is a synthetic porous metallic material consisting of an ultra-light metal foam. With a density as low as 0.99 mg/cm 3 (0.00561 lb/ft 3), it is one of the lightest structural materials known to science. [1]

4. Expanded metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_metal

   Expanded metal is frequently used to make fences, walkways, and grates, as the material is very durable and strong, unlike lighter and less expensive [dubious – discuss] wire mesh. The many small openings in the material allow flow through of air, water, and light, while still providing a mechanical barrier to larger objects.

5. Titanium alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_alloys

   Many alloys also contain titanium as a minor additive, but since alloys are usually categorized according to which element forms the majority of the material, these are not usually considered to be "titanium alloys" as such. See the sub-article on titanium applications. Titanium alone is a strong, light metal.

6. Corrugated galvanised iron - Wikipedia

9. Honeycomb structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeycomb_structure

   A honeycomb-shaped structure provides a material with minimal density and relative high out-of-plane compression properties and out-of-plane shear properties. [1] Man-made honeycomb structural materials are commonly made by layering a honeycomb material between two thin layers that provide strength in tension. This forms a plate-like assembly.
