This study proposed a new bio-inspired hierarchical circular honeycomb (BHCH) with excellent energy absorption capacity. The experimental results showed that BHCH outperformed the conventional circular honeycomb in terms of energy absorption and had significantly higher relative stiffness, strength, and energy absorption than other cellular structures. The theoretical model analysis further demonstrated the enhanced energy absorption mechanism of BHCH.
This study proposed a new bio-inspired hierarchical circular honeycomb (BHCH), mimicking the hierarchical structures from wood. The mechanical properties and energy absorption characteristics of the proposed structures were investigated by means of quasi-static compression tests and finite element (FE) analysis. Subsequently, the influences of geometric parameters and material selections on the energy absorption capacity were investigated. The experimental results and parametric study indicated that the BHCH outperformed the conventional circular honeycomb (CH) in terms of energy absorption capacity. Specifically, the BHCH had a higher specific energy absorption (SEA) than the corresponding CH with the same wall thickness (i.e. 45.3%) and the same volume of honeycombs (i.e. 71.2%). Furthermore, the relative stiffness, relative strength, and relative energy absorption of the BHCH were significantly higher than other popular cellular structures. Finally, a theoretical model was developed to estimate the mean crushing stress (MCS) and interaction effect of the proposed structure, which further demonstrated its enhanced energy absorption mechanisms. A good correlation between the predicted values and the numerical results proved the reliability of the proposed analytical models. With its excellent performance, the proposed BHCH provided a promising solution for the enhanced energy absorption of the honeycomb structure used in a wide range of applications from structural components of defence structures to protection systems in vehicles.
