Simulation of Tensile Stress Concentration Evaluation using Finite Element Performance

Abstract

This paper present the investigation on tensile behavior of syntactic foam using finite element analysis (FEA). Tensile properties which is important to discover especially for isotropic materials such syntactic foam. Different weight percentage (wt.%) of glass microballoon might be effected on developing of stress concentration (Kt) their stress on surface area. Comparative study on tensile syntactic foam using FEA approach was not explored yet. Hence, it is showed that the stress concentration more sensitive impact on lower modulus elasticity compared to the higher elasticity for syntactic foam
