Abstract

The effective Young’s modulus of aluminium matrix syntactic foams was determined by modal analysis. Two different matrix materials (Al99.5 and AlSi12) were used, and they were reinforced by Globocer grade ceramic hollow spheres. In order to validate the results, a full-scale finite element model was also created. A new algorithm was developed to place the spheres in a proper, probabilistic spatial distribution. Finite element simulations were carried out in modal analysis and compression test senses. In addition, three different analytical methods were studied to estimate the effective Young’s modulus. The measured values were compared with the finite element and analytical results. The determined effective Young’s moduli showed good agreement.
