Energy absorption capabilities of cenosphere reinforced epoxy syntactic foams
Source abstract
Abstract
In the present study, the energy absorption capabilities of the cenosphere reinforced epoxy syntactic foams were reported. The compression deformation tests were performed on the syntactic foams and the effect of the porosity, cenosphere size and the strain rate on the compression deformation behaviour was observed. The compressive deformation tests showed an extended plastic deformation region indicating a high amount of energy absorption capabilities. The energy absorption was quantified by the area under the stress strain curve. The 40% cenosphere volume syntactic foams showed better energy absorption capabilities when compared to the other syntactic foams. The strain rate and the volume fraction of the porosity in the syntactic foams affect the strain rate more than the size of the porosity. The failure of the syntactic foams was due to the crack propagation at lower strain rates and due to the cenosphere crushing at the higher strain rates.
