Energy absorption characteristics of a super hexagonal honeycomb under out-of-plane crushing
https://orcid.org/0009-0002-9650-8636
Abstract Designing innovative honeycomb materials with improved energy absorption capacity is a long-term pursuit to provide adequate impact protection for crucial structural components. The edge-based design has been regarded as an effective strategy to enhance the mechanical properties and energy absorption of honeycomb materials. This paper proposes a novel super hexagonal honeycomb (SHH) structure to pursue better energy absorption capacities. Its geometry is derived from the outline of a hexagonal honeycomb. The crushing performance of the SHH is investigated based on the out-of-plane compression experiments, and an explicit finite element model is established to explore the crashworthiness characteristics of the structure. Furthermore, a theoretical model based on the simplified super folding element (SSFE) method is established to predict the mean crushing force during the crushing process. The comparison with the experimental and numerical results verifies its accuracy. Besides, the crushing mechanisms and collapse modes of the constitutive Y and V elements in the SHH are discussed. The parametric analysis of the crashworthiness of the SHH is conducted in terms of the cell-wall length ratio, sub-corner angle and hierarchy. The results reveal that the crashworthiness of SHH is much superior to traditional hexagonal honeycomb and presents 106%, 62%, 104% and 162% improvement in the mean crushing force, crushing force efficiency, specific energy absorption and volumetric energy absorption, respectively. This work can inspire future research on lightweight edge-based honeycombs with excellent energy absorption capacity.
Highlights A novel honeycomb structure termed as super hexagonal honeycombs is proposed. The energy absorption enhancement mechanism of the SHH is analyzed. A theoretical model based on the SSFE method is proposed to predict the mean crushing force. Parametric analysis and hierarchical design are carried out to improve energy absorption.
