New Functionally Graded Composite designed at CMML
Two recent papers demonstrate superiority of functionally graded syntactic foams (FGSFs) designed by CMML to be higher damage tolerant and energy absorbent compared to the existing functionally graded and plain syntactic foams.
The First paper authored by Dr. Nikhil Gupta proposes the new FGSF structure. The Second paper presents results of an extensive experimental scheme that compares the compressive properties of traditional FGSFs created by a volume fraction gradient in their structure and the new types of FGSFs based on the microballoon wall thickness approach. The new syntactic foams designed by CMML are found to have 200-500% higher energy absorption capabilities under compression.
