Abstract

Abstract Combination of experimental testing and numerical analysis is suggested to determine static mechanical properties of the auxetic honeycombs realized via material extrusion. Special specimens, which consist of two honeycombs plates and three steel plates, are used to analyze experimentally shear mechanical properties of honeycombs. Shear testing is simulated using the finite elements software ANSYS. The tests on tension of honeycombs are carried out. These tests are simulated by finite elements software. Plasticity of the honeycomb material and geometrically nonlinear deformations of the honeycomb walls are accounted in honeycomb model. The experimental data and calculations results are close.
