This work focuses on the numerical investigation of mechanical properties of aluminium honeycomb sandwich composite structures with lap and butt joints. The joints are bonded using adhesive, welded and bolted which were designed using CATIA software. The static and dynamic structural analyses were performed to compute the mechanical properties of aluminium honeycomb composite structures with various joints using ANSYS software. Finally, the models were developed for estimating the failure strength of joints in honeycomb sandwich composite structures.

Core Materials

Theoretical formulas for effective elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of honeycomb core materials were proposed considering the bending, axial and shear deformations of cell walls. Theoretical results obtained by the formulas showed orthotropic elasticity and large Poisson’s ratio, which were comparable to results by finite element analysis(FEA). Tensile test of honeycomb sandwich composite(HSC) plates was performed for analysis of their deformation behaviors and interlaminar stresses. Equivalent plate model using the theoretical results of honeycomb core layer show that interlaminar shear stress occurring due to large difference of Poisson’s ratio between skin and honeycomb core layers led to the delamination in HSC plate under tensile loading. Load-displacement behavior of HSC specimen simulated by equivalent plate model coincided fairly with that of detailed FEA model similar to experimental results.

Honeycomb Sandwich Composite

For many years, scientists have been aware of the importance of terahertz waves (T-rays), which have now emerged as an NDE (nondestructive evaluation) technique for certain ranges of the electronic spectrum. The present study deals with T-ray scanning techniques of honeycomb sandwich composite panels with a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) skin as well as the refractive index (n), and the electrical conductivity (α) of glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites. For this experiment, the degree of penetration to FRP composites is investigated for the THz transmitted power based on the angle in the electric field (E-field) direction vs. the direction of the unidirectional carbon fibers. Also, when CFRP skin honeycomb sandwich panels are manufactured for use in aerospace applications, aluminum wires are twisted together into the one-sided surface of the honeycomb sandwich panels to protect against thunderstorms. The aluminum wires are partly visible because they are embedded in the CFRP skin on the honeycomb sandwich panels. After finishing work with a paintjob, the wires become invisible. Thus, detecting the aluminum wires is a key issue for product monitoring. Based on a simple resistor model, an optimal scanning method is proposed to determine the preferred scan orientation on the baseline of the E-field in the direction of fibers to evaluate the level of transmission of T-rays according to the frequency bandwidth. Thus, the combination of angles required to detect the aluminum wires embedded with carbon fibers on the surface of the composite panels can be determined.
