Modeling and analysis of K15 hollow glass microballoons filled epoxy syntactic foam for lightweight structures
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0003-2834-1483
Polymer matrix syntactic foams have received a lot of interest in recent years because of their advantages, such as their lightweight and energy-absorbing properties. The purpose of this study is to produce representative elementary volume of syntactic foams with a random filling of hollow glass microspheres from neat epoxy to 0.4 v/v filling in epoxy resin. Different forms of syntactic foams have been evaluated. ANSYS software (2020, R1) was used to investigate the numerical results. The impact of the microsphere volume fraction on the elastic mechanical properties of syntactic foams was investigated. The relative modulus, density and Poisson's ratio values of foams fall as the microsphere volume fraction rises but specific modulus values of composites increases, confirming that the weight of a component can be reduced. The relative modulus, Poisson’s ratio and density of syntactic foam decreases with increasing volume fraction of microballoon, dropping to approximately 4.5, 8.9 and 30 percent respectively at 0.4 volume fraction compared to neat epoxy. Parameters for beam and plate design ensuring that with same bending and axial stiffness for beam and bending stiffness for plate, weight of a component could well be reduced. As a consequence, utilizing syntactic foams in structural applications may result in significant weight reductions.
