- CInfluence of moisture absorption on flexural properties of syntactic foamsComposite Part B EngineeringJan 2012This work studies the influence of moisture absorption on the flexural properties of vinyl ester matrix–glass particle syntactic foams. The extent and the effect of moisture absorption are related to the wall thickness and volume fraction of the particles present in the composite. Four compositions of vinyl ester–glass systems are exposed to deionized and sea water conditions. Experimental findings are compared with results on virgin specimens. In general, the exposure of syntactic foams to a water environment yields a deterioration of Young’s modulus. This phenomenon is more prominent with deionized water as compared to sea water and increases with the particle volume fraction. In addition, results from water absorption tests show that syn
- MAnalysis of particle-to-particle elastic interactions in syntactic foamsMechanics of MaterialsJan 2011This work analyzes the elastic interaction between a pair of hollow particles embedded in a dissimilar medium subjected to remote uniaxial tensile loading. The Boussinesq–Papkovich stress function approach is combined with a multi-pole series expansion to derive a semi-analytical solution of the Navier–Cauchy equation and determine stress and displacement fields in the inclusions and the surrounding medium. Stress profiles, stress intensification factors, circumferential stress resultants in the particles, and strain energy storage are presented for a broad range of particle wall thicknesses, sizes, and relative inter-particle distances. Results specialized to glass–vinyl ester systems demonstrate that particle wall thicknesses and size dis
- IElastic interaction of interfacial spherical-cap cracks in hollow particle filled compositesInternational Journal of Solids and StructuresJan 2011This work analyzes the elastic interaction between two spherical-cap cracks present along the outer surface of a hollow particle embedded in a dissimilar medium under remote uniaxial tensile loading. A semi-analytical approach based on an enriched Galerkin method is adopted to determine stress and deformation fields as functions of particle wall thickness and cracks’ configuration. The present analysis is limited to multiple interfacial spherical-cap cracks; that is, crack propagation is restrained to the particle-matrix interface and possibility of crack kinking in the matrix is not considered. Interfacial crack growth characteristics, conditions for stable crack propagation, equal crack growth, and shielding are established through energy
- IAnalysis of hollow inclusion-matrix debonding in particulate compositesInternational Journal of Solids and StructuresJan 2010This work aims at understanding the effect of particle–matrix interfacial debonding on the tensile response of syntactic foams. The problem of a single hollow inclusion with spherical-cap cracks embedded in a dissimilar matrix material is studied. Degradation of elastic modulus, cavity formation in the proximity of debonded regions, stress localization phenomena in the inclusion, debonding energetics, and crack kinking are studied for a broad range of inclusion wall thickness and debonding extent. A series solution based on the Galerkin method is proposed and validated through comparison with findings from boundary element and finite element methods. Results are specialized to glass particle-vinyl ester matrix systems widely used in marine
- CAnalysis of flexural properties of hollow-particle filled compositesComposites Part B EngineeringJan 2010This paper studies flexural properties of vinyl ester–glass hollow-particle filled composites, which are used in marine applications. Sixteen compositions of composite materials are studied under three-point bending conditions to assess the effect of wall thickness and volume fraction of hollow inclusions. The results show that the flexural modulus of several composites is higher as compared to the neat resin. Moreover, the specific modulus of all composites is higher than the neat resin providing the possibility of appreciable weight saving in marine structures. Nevertheless, the flexural strength of the composites is lower than that of the neat resin. In addition, it is found that the flexural strength decreases as the inclusion volume fr
- JVinyl ester-glass hollow particle composites: dynamic mechanical properties at high inclusion volume fractionJournal of Composite MaterialsJan 2009This study entails the analysis of dynamic mechanical properties of hollow particle filled composites, called syntactic foams. A theoretical model is developed to predict the dynamic mechanical behavior of composite materials containing particle volume fraction up to the packing limit. The modeling approach is based on a differential scheme that extrapolates the properties of infinitely dilute dispersions of hollow particles (microballoons) to high inclusion volume fraction. The model is capable of predicting storage modulus and loss tangent in a wide frequency band of mechanical vibrations. Theoretical predictions are validated with experimental results on 16 compositions of vinyl ester—glass microballoon syntactic foams. Vibration methods
