A Numerical Simulation of Machining 6061 Syntactic Foams Reinforced with Hollow Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Shells

Aluminum closed cell syntactic foams possess reduced density, higher peak compression strength, and lower coefficient of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity compared to metal alloys. However, the industrial mass production of these complex material systems presents a significant problem in th...
