Impact behavior of honeycombs under combined shear-compression. II: Analysis. (English) Zbl 1236.74228

Summary: A numerical virtual model of honeycomb specimen as a small structure is used to simulate its combined shear-compression behavior under impact loading. With ABAQUS/Explicit code, the response of such a structure made of shell elements is calculated under prescribed velocities as those measured in the combined shear-compression tests presented in Part I of this study [ibid. 48, No. 5, 687-697 (2011; Zbl 1236.74227)].
The simulated results agree well with the experimental ones in terms of overall pressure/crush curves and deformation modes. It allows for the determination of the separated normal behavior and shear behavior of honeycomb specimen under dynamic combined shear-compression. It is found that the normal strength of honeycombs decreases with increasing shearing load. Quasi-static calculations were also performed and a significant dynamic strength enhancement found in experiments was validated again in the numerical work. A crushing envelope in normal strength vs. shear strength plane was obtained on the basis of these simulations.
