Abstract
In this study, the compression mechanical response of tandem honeycomb cores was investigated to determine the effect of dislocation length and layer height on the compression resistance of tandem honeycomb. A series of flatwise compressive tests were carried out on single-layer and double-layer honeycombs, which showed that tandem honeycomb obtains higher equivalent elastic modulus and collapse stress, and the core assembled with dislocation can achieve almost the same collapse stress with the aligned assembled honeycombs. In addition, a mesoscale finite element modeling method was developed and used to evaluate the effect of dislocation length and layer height on the mechanical response of tandem honeycomb through parametric simulation. Overall, our results suggest that dislocation length is proportional to the collapse stress, and the layer height decides the equivalent modulus and collapse stress of tandem honeycomb, specifically, dislocation length helps achieve higher collapse stress in the tandem honeycomb of varying layer heights.
