Description
Summary:In order to further study the cushioning performance of concave hexagonal cores (CHCs) and expand their application range, the in-plane finite element model of CHCs is established in this paper. A dynamic cushioning coefficient method was proposed to characterize the cushioning performance of CHCs. The dynamic cushioning coefficient curve and minimum dynamic cushioning coefficient (MDCC) of CHCs with different impact velocities and structural parameters are obtained. The influence rules of structural parameters and impact velocities on the MDCC are analyzed; the deformation mode and transformation empirical formula are also obtained. The results show that when other parameters are constant, the MDCC of CHCs decreases with the increase of impact velocity, increases with the increase of wall thickness and side length ratio, and decreases with the increase of expansion angle. The theoretical analysis is consistent with the finite element results, which further verifies the reliability of the model. This paper provides a solid theoretical basis for the industrial application of the cushioning performance of CHCs and forms a key technical support.
