Many different types of advanced metal matrix composites are now available, some of which possess functional properties. Recent work on particle-reinforced, self-lubricating and self …
MicroComputed Tomography has become the gold standard for studying 3D microscopic structures nondestructively, and this book provides up-to-date coverage of the modality. The …

The present study is focused on the synthesis and characterization of vinyl ester/glass microballoon syntactic foams. Tensile and compressive properties of vinyl ester matrix …
This research provides a comparative study between metal syntactic foams (MSFs) manufactured using two different infiltration casting techniques. Counter-gravity infiltration …
Failure of materials and structures is inherently linked to localized mechanisms, from shear banding in metals, to crack propagation in ceramics and collapse of space‐trusses after …
A functionally graded structure for hollow particle (microballoon) filled syntactic foams is fabricated that is capable of withstanding compression for 60–75% strain without any …
Aluminium alloy syntactic foams reinforced with iron hollow spheres were produced by low pressure, liquid phase inert gas infiltration technique. Four Al alloys (Al99. 5, AlSi12 …

A new closed cell composite metal foam has been produced using a powder metallurgy technique. The composite foams are processed by filling the vacancies between densely …
Aluminum alloy A356 filled with silicon carbide hollow spheres (SiCHS) is investigated for quasi-static (10− 3s− 1) and high strain rate (up to 1520s− 1) compressive properties. Such …
