The present invention is directed to the formation of pressure resistant buoyancy structures with a given buoyancy efficiency at smaller sizes. The invention involves embedding into syntactic foam metallic spheres (10) which preferably are substantially hollow and comprise high strength, high performance, light weight metal alloys which can be precision forged. The weight per unit space of the metallic spheres is less than that of the syntactic foam. As a result, the metallic spheres can decrease the size of the structure required to achieve a desired amount of buoyancy.

L'invention concerne l'élaboration de structures flottantes résistant à la pression, lesquelles offrent une flottabilité efficace donnée pour des dimensions qui sont réduites. On incorpore à un bloc de mousse syntactique des sphères métalliques (10), qui sont de préférence sensiblement creuses et qui renferment des alliages métalliques légers à résistance et performance élevées, pouvant faire l'objet d'un forgeage de précision. Le poids par unité de surface qui caractérise les sphères métalliques est inférieur à celui qui caractérise la mousse syntactique. En conséquence, l'utilisation des sphères métalliques permet de diminuer la taille structurelle requise pour obtenir le degré de flottabilité souhaité.
