Popis: The impact of mould filling parameters on casting defects in shape complicated skeleton casting was investigated. Skeleton castings are low weight cellular material mainly used for energy absorption in for example automotive industry. For prediction of defects such as porosities, the computer simulations of mould filling and solidification were used. In such shape complicated structures like skeleton castings it is very difficult to predict localization of the defects. This knowledge is very important to gain information about deformation mechanisms and for impact behaviour modelling. Series of the skeleton castings were investigated by computer tomography to validate simulations results.
