Abstract

Abstract It is generally acknowledged that the indentation resistance or hardness of auxetic materials is higher than that of their conventional counterparts under elastic deformation . However, this property of the auxetic material may not always be superior to that of the non-auxetic materials when the deformation is relatively large with plasticity considered. In this study, we come up with an index to quantitatively depict the indentation resistance of the hexagonal honeycombs under large deformation . The indentation resistance of both the auxetic and non-auxetic hexagonal honeycombs is compared and discussed. Results show that in the premise of honeycombs possessing the same relative density, the indentation resistance of auxetic hexagonal honeycombs is not always higher than that of the non-auxetic honeycombs. This phenomenon is verified by the numerical simulations. Further analysis shows that there is a critical value of the absolute value of Poisson’s ratio, which is determined by the cell-wall length ratio, to estimate the higher indentation resistance between the auxetic and non-auxetic hexagonal honeycombs. The influence of indentation velocity is also analyzed based on numerical simulations. This present work is supposed to shed light on the design and evaluation of the indentation resistance for both auxetic and conventional honeycombs.
