| Abstract Scope |
Metal matrix syntactic foams are a class of composite materials consisting of a continuous metal matrix embedded with hollow or porous ceramic particles. Because of the existence of porosity and a hard ceramic phase, they have good ability to absorb impact energy. Therefore they have the potential to serve as lightweight structures as energy absorbers against impact and blast. Metal matrix syntactic foams can behave like metal foams or metal matrix composites, depending on the structure, properties and proportion of the constituent phases. This paper studies the static and dynamic properties of aluminium matrix syntactic foams under compression and impact conditions and discusses the effects of the test conditions and the structure of the ceramic particles. |
