This chapter addresses the elasto-plastic properties of novel metallic hollow sphere structures (MHSS). Numerical finite element analyses and experimental tests are conducted. The influence of the morphology, topology, joining technology and material composition on their mechanical properties is numerically investigated. Uni-axial compressive tests with adhesively bonded MHSS are performed in order to confirm the numerical findings. Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and the initial plastic yield stress are determined. Furthermore, the elastic anisotropy of simple cubic MHSS is investigated.
