Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of Honeycomb Sandwich Panel for Continuum Properties Evaluation and Core Height Influence on the Dynamic Behavior

Abstract

Finite element analysis of honeycomb sandwich panel has been performed by modeling the structure through three different approaches. Continuum properties are calculated through analytical solution and verified through FE analysis of bare core. In addition to that the thickness of core has also been varied in all the three approaches in order to study its effect on vibration analysis of sandwich structure.
