State‐of‐the‐art review on honeycomb sandwich composite structures with an emphasis on filler materials

Abstract

Honeycomb sandwich composites are suitable for making structural materials that are mainly characterized by their lightweight and high stiffness strength.The honeycomb structures filled with foam materials or granular materials concerning to the applications enhance the strength and the damping properties. In this paper, an emphasis has been provided for the comprehensive review of response of honeycomb sandwich structures in different conditions, namely, static, dynamic, and damping behaviors with and without filler material from an experimental and finite element simulation perspective. Various applications of honeycomb sandwich composites in different fields are also reviewed in this paper. Potential new directions in honeycomb sandwich composites are also identified in this paper in addition to the current practices. Conclusions and recommendations from different technical papers are reviewed by considering the honeycomb sandwich composites with filler materials. The given area of research seeks more scientific analysis, modeling, and experiments in future structural applications.

Study on compression characteristics of honeycomb sandwich structure with multistage carbon fiber reinforced composites

“…Fiber reinforced composites have aroused the attention of numerous scholars worldwide over the past few years for their advantages of high specific strength, high modulus, [ 1 ] high corrosion resistance, [ 2 ] high specific stiffness, high specific strength, [ 3 ] lightweight, and strong designability. [ 4,5 ] The honeycomb sandwich structure made of fiber‐reinforced composites is an excellent buffer material, [ 6 ] which has the advantages of high stiffness strength, [ 7 ] lightweight and good energy absorption. [ 8 ] Its mechanical properties can be changed by setting different parameters.…”

Environmentally friendly bio‐inspired folded sandwich panels—Fabrication and mechanical behavior

“…[ 5,6 ] In addition, the properties of honeycomb structures filled with foam materials or granular materials have been investigated extensively. [ 7 ] In fact, in addition to the typical honeycomb sandwich structure, there are lattice sandwich structure, [ 8 ] and corrugated sandwich structure. [ 9 ] Folded structure originated from origami technology, that is, fold flat materials into three‐dimensional structures by the folding without cutting and stretching.…”

Dynamic response and failure mechanism characterization of composite‐metal sandwich structures under slamming impact utilizing CEL method

“…[2][3][4] Therefore, as a good candidate, it has been extensively applied in aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding fields. [5][6][7][8] Slamming is usually an inevitable and destructive process accompanied with complex slamming phenomenon and tremendous instantaneous local pressure, which may pose a significant risk to the whole structure. [9][10][11][12] Additionally, considering the ductility of aluminum and the anisotropy of composite laminate, damage modes may be more complicated and pronounced under slamming impact.…”
