Abstract
A full scale finite element (FE) analysis has been conducted on aluminum hexagonal honeycomb to investigate its deformation mechanism and mechanical performance under combined compression-shear loads. ANSYS LS/DYNA software has been employed in this numerical study. The honeycomb FE model has the same dimensions (cell size and cell wall thickness) as those used in the previous experimental study. The FE model has been verified by the experimental results. A good agreement between the experimental and numerical results has been reached. This numerical analysis facilitates the measurement of the vertical and horizontal forces applied to honeycomb specimens. The effects of strain rate, plane orientation of cell walls and loading angle on the plateau stress and energy absorption of honeycomb specimens under combined compression-shear loads were investigated.
