Abstract
The auxetic cellular structures build from inverted tetrapods were fabricated and experimentally tested using uniaxial compression tests in two orthogonal directions. Based on experimental results, the computational models using homogenised material model were developed and validated in LS-DYNA. Furthermore, the computational models based on Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) method for simulation of blast loading conditions were developed, verified and validated according to the data available in literature. This computational model was then used to simulate the crush behaviour of composite sandwich panel with auxetic core under blast loading. The results show that the use of the composite sandwich panel with auxetic core reduces the maximum displacement by 33% in comparison to the monolithic plate of the similar mass, while simultaneously a 6% mass reduction can be observed.
