Effective elastic moduli of syntactic foams

An analytical approach to compute the effective elastic moduli of syntactic foams is presented. Using the concentric spherical model, the effective elastic constants are estimated, and compared with other theories and experimental data.

Summary:An analytical approach to compute the effective elastic moduli of syntactic foams is presented. Using the concentric spherical model, the effective elastic constants are estimated, and compared with other theories and experimental data. The computed effective elastic moduli are within the lower and upper bounds, and agree with the experimental data.
