Numerical Simulation of New Class-Honeycomb Sandwich Structure's Core

Abstract:

As the sandwich structure materials extensively used in the engineering field, the existing sandwich structure materials can not meet the requirements of engineering design gradually. New sandwich structural materials with efficient, energy-saving and easy processing need to be developed urgently. Relying on the mature research results now on honeycomb sandwich structure, the class-honeycomb sandwich structure is put forward for the first time, meanwhile, innovate configuration in the structure. Based on this, the paper analyzes the mechanics properties of the structure and the results showed that the new class-honeycomb sandwich structures mechanics properties have improved greatly compared with the original hexagonal honeycomb sandwich structure. And also simulation analysis was carried out on the cores structure. The validity of the equivalent elastic constant is confirmed through the theoretical analysis and simulation analysis. For this reason, it has great theoretical significance and engineering application value.
