Abstract

The energy absorption characteristics of hexagonally packaged circular-celled honeycombs and quadrilater-ally packaged circular-celled honeycombs are obtained under in-plane quasi-static compressive loadings through finite element analysis. The stress–strain curves, deformation modes, energy absorption efficiency, specific plateau stress, normalized energy absorption and energy absorption diagrams are discussed. The cell arrangement patterns influence the shapes of stress–strain curves and deformation modes. The densification strain is in linear relationship with the relative density and the specific plateau stress is proportional to relative density. The hexagonally packaged circular-celled honeycombs have the largest specific plateau stress in the x2 direction for a given relative density. The normalized energy absorption is nearly proportional to the strain before densification and increases with increasing relative density for a given strain in one compression direction. The envelope line in the energy absorption diagram is approximately a straight line tangent to the shoulder points through the origin. The hexagonally packaged circular-celled honeycombs outperform the quadrilaterally packaged circular-celled honeycombs in in-plane energy absorption.
