TLDR
In this paper, the effect of hollow spheres content and wall thickness of the microspheres on the mechanical response of these foams is studied extensively through a series of quasi-static uni-axial compression tests performed at a constant strain rate of 0.001 s−1.About:

Dynamic mechanical behavior of syntactic iron foams with glass microspheres
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical behavior of syntactic foams made of hollow glass microspheres mixed in an iron matrix was investigated, and the experimental characterization was performed by means of compression tests at three strain-rate levels: at the highest strain rate level a SHPB was used.
