Characterization of the thermoelastic behavior of syntactic foams

摘要: Abstract The objective of this article is to highlight the existence a specific geometrical configuration syntactic foams (solid or hollow microballs soaked in resin), which enables design composite material possessing good thermal insulation properties while ensuring optimal mechanical behavior compression and significant weight gain. To carry out, an economical approximated homogenization technique, adapted composites being studied herein, first all proposed. results yielded turn out be agreement with those obtained by application classical methods have already demonstrated their effectiveness. In order desired configuration, minimization problem then developed solved. value approach lies fact that computations necessary can performed quasi-analytical manner, thereby avoiding reliance upon heavy computing resources. resultant tool proves most costeffective simple use.
