Abstract

The compression strength and the shear elastic modulus of an aramid honeycomb core have been studied theoretically and experimentally. Equations have been proposed for calculation of these characteristics based on the longitudinal and shear elastic moduli of the paper material composing the core and the detailed geometry of the honeycomb shape. The effects of single and double wall thickness of the materials are taken into account in the equation. The predicted mechanical properties showed good agreement with the test results although a difficulty was found in the determination of the shear elastic modulus of the paper material. It also became clear that the aramid papers used showed considerable anisotropy which seemed to strongly influence the shear property of the core.
