Abstract

This paper presents extensive test results of linear elastic mechanical properties of Nomex paper and Nomex honeycomb structures. The fundamental mechanical properties of the Nomex paper are then used in the finite element modeling and analysis of Nomex honeycomb structures. The finite element results are then compared with the experimental results and with the results using the well known theory from Gibson and Ashby [Gibson LJ, Ashby MF. Cellular solids: structures & properties. Pergamon Press; 1988]. Size effects are observed for the moduli of Nomex honeycombs.
