Biaxial crushing of honeycombs. I: Experiments (Q1302857)

This article is devoted to the experimental investigation of in-plane compression and crushing of polycarbonate honeycombs. The crushing was performed in a custom testing facility between rigid platens which allows various biaxiality ratios and volume reductions up to 95 percent. In each experiment the true stress-displacement responses were recorded as well as full field views of the deformation using a video camera.
