Abstract

A new method has been established to predict the compressive strength of cenosphere-aluminum syntactic foams, showing the relation between the relative wall thickness of the cenopshere and the compressive strength of such foams. Quasi-static compression tests indicated that annealed cenosphere-aluminum syntactic foams can deform plastically at a relatively higher stress (∼45-75 MPa) and their energy-absorbing capacity can reach ∼20-35 MJ m-3. The deformation mechanisms of syntactic foams have also been discussed.
