Finite Element Simulation on Three-point Bending of Brazed Aluminum Honeycomb Panel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The mechanics behaviors on three-point bending of brazed aluminum honeycomb panel by FEM are investigated in this paper. The results show that honeycomb panel have three typical failure modes under bending load:failure of honeycomb core collapse, the whole panel bending failure and face sheet shear failure. Honeycomb lateral bending failure load is greater than the longitudinal bending failure load. When the ratio of honeycomb core thickness and panel thickness is between 10% to 15%, the strongest cellular panel bending occurs.
