Stress-Strain Assessment of Honeycomb Sandwich Panel Subjected to Uniaxial Compressive Load

Pasqualino Corigliano et al.

Summary: The ship hull structure is composed of plates and stiffened panels. Estimating the maximum load-carrying capacity of these structural components is crucial. The challenge is to implement new materials and technologies to enhance the structural integrity, economy, safety and environmentally friendly design of the ship's hull structure. Aluminium alloy honeycomb sandwich structures offer potential as a new design solution due to their impact-absorption capabilities and high stiffness-to-weight ratio. However, further investigation is needed to understand their response to typical ship structural design conditions, particularly axial compressive loading. The present work aims to experimentally and numerically study the behavior of a honeycomb sandwich panel under uniaxial compressive loads to develop models for predicting their load-carrying capacity.
