Experimental and Finite Element Based Investigations of In-Plane and Out-of-Plane Properties of Aluminum Honeycomb

Abstract:

Experimental and Finite Element analysis was used for the investigation of the effect of cell size and thickness on the compressive properties of Aluminium honeycomb core. Honeycomb cores were compressed experimentally in in-plane and out of plane directions. The effect of sample size, cell size and thickness on the elastic modulus, yield strength and plateau stress was investigated through FEA. It was found that the mechanical response was independent upon the sample size in in-plane direction. The smallest cell size honeycomb core was deformed at higher yield stress. Similarly, with increase in cell wall thickness, the modulus of the core increased.
