Mechanical Properties and Brittle Behavior of Silica Aerogels

Mechanical Properties and Brittle Behavior of Silica Aerogels

Sets of silica gels: aerogels, xerogels and sintered aerogels, have been studied in the objective to understand the mechanical behavior of these highly porous solids. The mechanical behaviour of gels is described in terms of elastic and brittle materials, like glasses or ceramics. The magnitude of t...
