Abstract

Novel Design and Comparision of Structural and Modal Analyses of Auxetic Geometry versus Honeycomb Geometry

Ugur Kemiklioglu

Auxetic structures are popular, since they have much application area. Depending on these areas of their usage, auxetic structures are subject to various loads and vibrations. Within the scope of this study, a special form of auxetic structure was created inspired by honeycomb structure, both auxetic and honeycomb models were modeled in Ansys software by keeping the edge length of this structure and honeycomb structure equal. Since both structures are considered to be used as core material in composites, it is considered that the surface areas are close to each other. Structural and modal analyses were applied to the models and auxetic structure was shown to give better results.
