Abstract

In this paper, modeling and numerical analysis of mechanical parameters of honeycomb structures are presented for application in sandwich structures. Parametrical model of honeycomb structures was built and next numerical simulation for different configuration of cell size and different boundary conditions were performed. One wanted to see whether in this case the added cladding significantly affect the improvement in results. Along with another simulation changed the size and type of grid computing. In this, case when the grid consisted of larger items, the results obtained were satisfactory. Along with reducing components—increase the accuracy of calculations—significant changes were observed in the obtained results. In subsequent step, it was decided to see how the structure will behave when the core will consist of several layers of cells shifted relative to each other. Finally, sandwich structure during mechanical test was simulated.
