doi:10.3901/JME.2020.16.078

Abstract

Abstract: The fabrication and manufacturing of circular honeycomb is a critical technology that has play an important role on its development and application of industry. Aluminum circular honeycombs have been made by brazing method with specific processes and parameters, which is an invention for the porous structure manufacturing. Quasi-static compression performance testing of the honeycombs is carried out to study the deformation characteristics and mechanical behaviors of the circular tubes of honeycombs. The finite element model of circular honeycomb is established considering the influence of brazing seam and fabrication defects. It is found that the stress-strain curves and deformation processes simulated by the finite element method are in good agreement with the test results. The welded defects causes the honeycomb to be dense ahead of time, and the effect of defects on the mechanical properties cannot be ignored. On this basis, the quasi-static compression simulation of the circular honeycombs is carried out with different wall thickness, and the calculation formulas of the equivalent elastic modulus and the plastic initial yield stress of the honeycomb are derived based on the elastic-plastic theory. The results show that the analytical solution is agreed with that of numerical cases, with considering the influence of the welded joints, which is higher than the ideal solution without considering the welded joints. In addition, the influence of welded joints on the mechanical behavior of circular honeycomb is more and more obvious with the increasing of material relative density.
