Abstract
Numerical simulations of honeycomb behaviour under mixed shear-
AN
compression loading are performed to overcome a limitation of the experimental
measurements and to investigate the normal and the shear honeycomb
behaviours separately. A detailed FE model allowing to simulate the mixed
M
shear-compression honeycomb behaviour is presented. A validation between
numerical and experimental results in terms of crushing responses and collapse
mechanisms allows to dissociate the normal and shear forces components. They
PT
ED
are used to identify the parameters of a macroscopic yield criterion expressed as
a function of the impact velocity, the loading angle and the in-plane orientation
angle.
A well known dynamic enhancement phenomenon is confirmed by
this macroscopic yield criterion.
However, as a new result, this dynamic
enhancement is reversed when the loading angle reaches a critical value. An
CE
analysis of the collapse mechanisms is carried out under both quasi-static and
dynamic loading conditions in order to explain this inversion.

1. Introduction
Cellular materials are increasingly used in the transportation industry due
3
to their high strength/weight ratio which contributes to the development of
4
environmentally friendly vehicles. Among this class of materials, aluminium
5
alloy honeycombs have an outstanding capability for absorbing energy. Several
6
studies reported by [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] and [9] have investigated the
7
quasi-static and dynamic behaviours of honeycombs under uni-axial or bi-axial
8
compression loadings ( out-of-plane or in-plane loadings).

A limited number of studies reported by [10],[11] [12, 13], [14, 15], [16], [17],
10
[18, 19, 20] and [21] have investigated honeycomb behaviour under more realistic
11
working conditions that occur in crash events where shear and compression
12
loadings are mixed. In this case, two angles are defined : the loading angle
13
ψ is the angle between load direction and out-of-plane direction and the in-
14
plane orientation angle β is the angle between shear load direction and ribbon
15
direction in the cell plane.

Aluminium alloy honeycombs are considered as materials for
17
different applications including lightweight structures combining a
18
high stiffness and energy absorption capabilities under dynamic
19
loading. The state of the art of all experimental studies and numerical
20
studies on honeycombs allows concluding that a macroscopic yield
21
criterion expressed as function of the impact velocity, the loading
22
angle and the in-plane orientation angle is required to provide
23
a constitutive description of the yield behaviour of honeycomb

structures.
25
For that, Mohr and Doyoyo[11] suggested a linear fit for the crushing
26
envelope obtained from their honeycomb specimens tested with only one in-plane
27
orientation angle β= 90◦ . Hong et Al. [12, 13] developed a quadratic yield
28
criterion that gives a good description of the macroscopic crush behaviour of
3
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
honeycomb specimens under quasi- static and dynamic loading conditions with
30
different in-plane orientation angles (β= 0◦ ; β= 30◦ and β= 90◦ ). However,
31
they investigated the impact velocity for only one loading angle ψ= 15◦ . An
32
elliptical yield envelope is found for both the quasi-static and dynamic loading
33
cases by Hou et Al. [15] using the Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm (LMA).
34
Their macroscopic yield criterion takes into account the loading angle ψ and the
35
impact velocity but without any influence reported on the in-plane orientation
36
angle for β= 0◦ and β= 90◦ . However, a significant effect of this in-plane
37
orientation angle was reported by Zhou et Al. [16] on the experimental yield
38
surface of Nomex honeycombs.

In this paper we propose to investigate the combined effects of the in-
40
plane orientation angle, the loading angle and the impact velocity on the
41
macroscopic yield criterion of an Al5056 honeycomb. The paper is organized as
42
follows. Section 2 presents the experimental set-up and limitations. Section
43
3 is dedicated to numerical simulations used to perform virtual crushing
44
tests. Comparative studies between numerical and experimental results are
45
proposed in section 4. In particular, a validation is performed in terms of
46
both crushing responses and collapse mechanisms under both quasi-static and
47
dynamic loadings. Section 5 presents separately the numerical shear and normal
48
honeycomb behaviours based on the validated numerical model. The shear
49
and normal crushing responses are used in section 6 in order to present the
50
macroscopic yield criterion as function of ψ, β and the impact velocity.

The relative density (the ratio of the honeycomb density

56
mm, the single cell wall thickness is t = 76 µm , the cell angle is α = 120◦
57
and the cell size is d = 6.35 mm. The specimen contains 39 full cells on the
4
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
honeycomb cross-section. The specimen dimensions are 44 x 41 x 25 mm in
59
the directions of X, Y and Z respectively. X and Y directions are the in-plane
60
directions. Z direction is the out-of-plane direction (figure 1). Under mixed
61
shear-compression loading, the loading angle ψ is defined by the angle between
62
the out-of-plane direction and the load direction. The in-plane orientation
63
angle β is defined by the angle between the ribbon direction and the shear load
64
direction (figure 1). Five loading angles are considered for the experimental
65
study. ψ = 0◦ corresponds to uni-axial compression loading and ψ = 15◦ / ψ =
66
30◦ / ψ = 45◦ / ψ = 60◦ correspond to mixed shear-compression loadings. For
67
every loading angle ψ, the in-plane orientation angle β is varied. Four in-plane
68
orientation angles (β = 0◦ / 30◦ / 60◦ / 90◦ ) are considered.

82
In order to investigate in detail the mixed shear-compression behaviour of
84
honeycombs and to develop a macroscopic yield criterion taking into account
85
the loading angle ψ, the in-plane orientation angle β and the impact velocity,
86
the normal and shear responses should be dissociated. However, the device
87
used to load the specimens (figure 3) leads to a transverse component force
88
FY which can not be measured experimentally. Indeed, the SHPB set-up only
89
provides the axial component force (FZ ) of the crushing responses of aluminium

So, the normal and the shear force components respectively FN and FS ,

One way to overcome this limitation is to simulate the experimental tests
100
in order to have access to local force components. That is why, numerical
101
simulations are carried out taking the effect of the loading angle ψ and the
102
in-plane orientation angle β into consideration. In addition, an analysis of the

crushing responses and the collapse mechanisms is realised.

3.1. The FE numerical model and materials
The material constitutive model parameters are determined using an inverse
113
approach of identification proposed by Markiewicz et Al. [22]. This approach
114
uses the optimization methods and allows one to determine the parameters
115
of constitutive models by correlating the results of the numerical simulation
116
with the global variables obtained by the experimental crushing tests of thin-
117
walled components. The honeycomb cell wall material is an aluminium alloy
118
(Al5056-O) well known to be rate insensitive and it is assumed to exhibit a
119
bilinear elasticplastic response. That is why only the quasi-static uni-axial
120
crushing response is used in the inverse approach. The inverse approach
121
solutions allow to identify a material yield stress (σy = 0.38 GPa) and
122
a hardening modulus (Et = 0.5 GPa) which are in accordance with
123
the published parameters reported in the literature for this alloy by

Hou et Al. [15]. As an example, figure 5 (a) under uni-axial (ψ = 0◦ )
125
and (b) mixed shear-compression (ψ = 30◦ / β = 60◦ ) illustrate the
126
sensitivity of the finite-element model to the yield stress parameter

124

for a fixed hardening modulus on the numerical crushing responses.
128
Other material parameters such as density (ρ = 2640 kg/m3), Young’s modulus
129
(E = 70 GPa) and Poisson’s ratio (ν = 0.35) are taken from literature.

173
loading velocity is chosen after simulations with various loading velocity (0.1,
174
0.5 and 1 m/s). For this loading velocity, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the
175
strain energy is very small (about 10−4 ) and inertia effects are insignificant.

cell level under quasi-static loading except for some cases of mixed loading (ψ

boundary conditions. This phenomenon is observed experimentally under both

uni-axial and mixed loadings such as shown in figure 18. It suggests that the
282
distribution of collapse mechanisms is different from the side to the middle of

the crushed specimen. Moreover, the side effect becomes more significant when

For ψ > ψcritical , the quasi-static crushing responses become higher than the
379
dynamic ones. This phenomenon is explained by the difference of the collapse
380
mechanisms. An analysis of the collapse mechanisms is carried out under both
30
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions in order to explain the negative
382
dynamic enhancement rate [20]. The collapse mechanisms and a schematic of
383
quasi-static and dynamic collapse mechanisms is presented by figure 25. The
384
folds number is higher under quasi-static loading than under dynamic one. The
385
main reason is due to inertia effects which promote the global rotation of the
386
cell axis rather than the formation of folds. As a consequence, the crushing
387
under quasi-static loading requires more quantity of energy than under dynamic
388
loading. This explains the negative dynamic enhancement observed for ψ >
389
ψcritical .

The proposed macroscopic criterion allows to describe the mixed
391
shear-compression honeycomb behaviour taking into consideration
392
not only of the loading angle ψ but also of the in-plane orientation
393
angle β and the impact velocity.
Next steps of this work will be
to rewrite the proposed yield criterion in a suitable form for a
395
’honeycombs’ material model, such as the Deshpande and Fleck model
396
[23].

7. Conclusion
398
The mixed shear-compression experiments are reproduced using detailed FE
399
simulations by modelling the specimen placed between two beveled bars and
400
using the experimental input and output velocities.

A comparison between the numerical results and the experimental ones are
402
carried out on the initial peak force and on the average crushing force. A good
403
correlation is observed under quasi-static and dynamic mixed shear-compression
404
loadings. The collapse mechanisms are investigated numerically and the three
405
deforming pattern modes experimentally observed are also identified. Numerical
406
results suggest that the combined effect of the in-plane orientation angle and
407
the loading angle has an influence on the deforming pattern modes. Good
408
correlations between experimental and numerical are reported in terms of global
409
mechanisms (deforming patterns modes) and local collapse mechanisms (at the
410
cell level).

Finally, using the validated numerical model, the normal and the shear
412
behaviours are separated to determine the parameters of a macroscopic yield
413
criterion. A significant effect of the in-plane orientation angle is highlighted on
414
the mixed shear-compression behaviour by the macroscopic yield criterion. The
415
superposition of quasi-static and dynamic macroscopic yield criterion confirms
416
the dynamic enhancement up to a critical loading angle ψcritical depending of
417
the in-plane orientation angle β and the impact velocity. It decreases for the
418
loading angle 0◦ ≤ ψ < ψcritical and a negative enhancement is observed for
419
ψ > ψcritical . This phenomenon is attributed to the an unexpected combined
420
effect of the loading angle, the in-plane orientation angle and the impact velocity
421
which affects the collapse mechanisms.
