Abstract: The in-plane flexible shear property of hexagonal honeycombs may be useful for the compliant structural applications. In this paper, hyperelastic strain energy functions are developed for a finite ...

Abstract: The low in-plane modulus of honeycombs may be used for compliant structures with a high elastic limit while maintaining a required modulus. Numerical and finite element (FE) studies for a ...

Abstract: This paper presents the energy absorption properties of hexagonal honeycomb structures of varying cellular geometries under high speed in-plane crushing. While the crushing responses in terms of ...
