Abstract:

Honeycomb sandwich panels can reduce weight, and particular strength needs are crucial to the modern aerospace industry. The principal benefits of honeycomb panels include rigidity, stress absorption, fatigue resistance, resistance to weather, chemicals, fire and isolation. Today, choosing a sandwich design with a cheap and recyclable core material is common due to mechanical and acoustic requirements of high strength and a weight target. Aeroplane wings, ships, cars, and civil constructions, among other things, all utilize honeycomb sandwich structures. These designs are the greatest approach to getting high strength and little material utilization. For the optimal structural outcome, the designs of hexagonal and square honeycomb constructions will be analyzed and compared in this study. Using CATIA software, a honeycomb panel was created. LS-DYNA software is used to perform structural analysis on the intended model for four distinct materials, i.e. steel, copper, titanium, and aluminum. Finally, simulation findings are provided and debated.
