Comparing Study of Energy-Absorbing Behavior for Honeycomb Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Honeycomb materials,as a type of ultra-light multifunctional material,have been examined extensively in recent years and have been applied in many fields. This study investigated the energy absorption capacity and their mechanisms of honeycomb structures with five different cell geometry (square,triangular,circular, hexagonal,kagome). It has been shown that the honeycomb structure with kagome cells is the best choice under the targets of the energy absorption capacity, peak force and plateau stress, when relative density and cell wall thickness of the five kinds of honeycombs are the same. Besides, honeycomb with hexagonal cells and honeycomb with triangular cells are also ideal structures for energy absorption purpose.
