Abstract

A finite element methodology has been developed for predicting the behaviour of honeycomb structures. Dynamic analysis of hexagonal aluminium honeycomb structures is carried out using PAM-CRASH(TM), an explicit FE analysis code, and the result are verified against experimental data. Relationship between the crushing behaviour of honeycomb and simulation parameters has been established. The simulation results are also compared with theoretically predicted values.
