One Simple Finite Element Methodology to Determine the Moduli of Hexagonal Honeycomb

Abstract

According to the related experimental standards, the finite element (FE) methodology to calculate the in-plane and out-of-plane moduli of hexagonal honeycombs (HHs) is designed by simulating the experimental loadings. Some simulations were carried out for the hexagonal honeycombs with different configuration parameters. The FE results are consistent with the theoretical ones, which verifies the reliability of FE methodology.
