چکیده
In this paper, a fundamental understanding of the densification mechanics polymeric syntactic foams under compressive loading is established. These are closed cell composite with thin-walled microballoons dispersed in matrix (resin) whose structure provides excellent mechanical properties, like high strength and low density. There several parameters that can contribute towards their including, microballoon volume fraction, wall thickness, bonding between matrix, crushing microballoons. Conducting purely experimental testing by varying these be very time sensitive expensive. Also, identification challenging using experiments only. Higher stress energy favorable properties foam compression or crushing. Hence, influence key structural material associated dictate studied here implementing micromechanics based computational models multiple linear regression analysis . Specifically, specific stresses energy, which normalized weight, evaluated more relevant for wide variety weight saving applications. Microballoon fraction identified as have higher on counterparts, whereas interfacial has least impact. addition, designing aspects specified overall density discussed mapping thickness. The model allows establishing thicknesses corresponding fractions result

Creep of aluminum syntactic foams
Aluminum syntactic foams with densities of 1.2–1.5 g/cm3 were deformed at 500 ◦C under constant uniaxial compressive stresses ranging from to 14 MPa. The foam creep behavior is characterized by a short primary stage and a long secondary stage where the strain rate is constant and inimum, followed by a tertiary stage at high stresses. The minimum strain rate varies with stress according to an ap...
متن کاملWater Impact of Syntactic Foams
Syntactic foams are particulate composite materials that are extensively integrated in naval and aerospace structures as core materials for sandwich panels. While several studies have demonstrated the potential of syntactic foams as energy absorbing materials in impact tests, our understanding of their response to water impact remains elusive. In this work, we attempt a first characterization o...

Mechanics of CNT-reinforced nano-cellular PMMA nanocomposites are investigated using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Firstly, static uniaxial stretching of bulk PMMA polymer is simulated and the results are compared with literature. Then, nano-cellular foams with different relative densities are constructed and subjected to static uniaxial stretching and obtained stress-strain cu...
متن کاملApplications of Polymer Matrix Syntactic Foams
A collection of applications of polymer matrix syntactic foams is presented in this article. Syntactic foams are lightweight porous composites that found their early applications in marine structures due to their naturally buoyant behavior and low moisture absorption. Their light weight has been beneficial in weight sensitive aerospace structures. Syntactic foams have pushed the performance bou...
