INTRODUCTION• Aluminium honeycomb is a structure made of
hexagonal foil cells.
• It derives it’s name from its close resemblance to a
bee honeycomb.
• Materials with high strength and low density are used
core material.
• Honeycomb is a typical cellular structure which has
been extensively used as energy absorbers to resist
external loads.

Pro’s of Honeycomb structures
• Considerable rigidity in shear.
• High crushing stress.
• Almost constant crushing force.
• Low weight.
• Relative insensitivity to local loss of stability.
• Minimization of the amount of material used.
![Page 11: FEA AND EXPERIMENTAL QUASI-STATIC CRUSHING OF ALUMINIUM HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042511/55a389331a28abe5578b47fc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
OUT OF PLANE COMPRESSION
•Out-of-plane direction refers to the direction along the
cell axis, parallel to the thickness of the honeycomb.
•Honeycombs are much stiffer and stronger when loaded
along the cell axis.
•The initial linear-elastic deformation involves, significant
axial deformations of the cell walls.

duplicated along x and y axis to get the quarter part of
the final model.
3. The Catia model was converted from ‘.CATPart’ to
‘.igs’ format.

CONCLUSIONS
• Honeycomb cores used as energy absorbers must beplaced in out-of-plane configuration, so thatmaximum energy can be absorbed.
• The specific energy absorption capacity and meancrushing loads obtained during investigation can beused as data in designing the energy absorbers forvarious engineering applications like impact energyabsorbers, crash pads.
• From the experiment, it can be concluded that withslow deformation rate the energy absorptionincreases.
