Design and Analysis of Hexagonal and Octagonal Honeycomb Structures

Abstract

Due to the cost effectiveness, the automotive industries are specifically looking for different combination of materials for optimizing the production control and cost variation to bring up luxury design of interior and exterior look of the vehicle bodies. High strength, low weight is the major criteria in the selection. Honey comb sandwich materials with different structures play a key role in the automotive sector for obtaining good strength and durability.

In this project the designs of hexagonal and octagonal honey comb structures are analyzed and compared. The structures developed by using Solid-Works 2018 software. Solid-Works 2018 flow simulation is to be used to test the effectiveness and limitations of the structures. Thermal and static analysis are performed with different types of materials like Titanium, Aluminum, Stainless steel to identify the best material for  low cost and high-efficient by applying various loads.
