Syntactic foams made of hollow particles embedded in a matrix material are widely used as
buoyancy materials for underwater marine structures, where both low density and high …

This paper introduces a homogenization-based constitutive model for the large-strain
mechanical response of elastomeric syntactic foams subject to arbitrary quasistatic loading …

Syntactic foams are composite materials consisting in the association of hollow particles,
called “microspheres” and a polymer matrix. The use of soft shell microspheres confers to …

The critical buckling characteristics of hydrostatically pressurized complete spherical shells
filled with an elastic medium are demonstrated. A model based on small deflection thin shell …

In this study, the stability analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical, truncated
and complete conical shells subjected to combined loads and resting on elastic foundations …

The effective macroscopic response of nonlinear elastomeric inhomogeneous materials is of
great interest in many applications including nonlinear composite materials and soft …

Motivated by the need to understand the compression of syntactic foam composites, we
solve the canonical problem of buckling of a thin spherical shell embedded in a medium that …

This work analyzes nonlinear buckling of a single spherical shell imperfectly bonded to an
infinite elastic matrix under a compressive remote load. The inclusion is modeled using a …

Syntactic foams are particulate composites that are obtained by dispersing thin hollow
inclusions in a matrix material. The wide spectrum of applications of these composites in …

This work analyzes the elastic interaction between a pair of hollow particles embedded in a
dissimilar medium subjected to remote uniaxial tensile loading. The Boussinesq–Papkovich …
