Abstract
Honeycomb structures are known for being lightweight and strong, making them essential in industries like aerospace, automotive, and construction. Despite their widespread use, significant challenges remain in optimizing these structures to balance strength, weight efficiency, and cost reduction. This study aims to evaluate the performance of honeycomb structures by analyzing variations in dimensions, geometric shape material. The investigation begins with the creation of a detailed CAD model of the honeycomb configuration, which is then converted into a finite element (FE) model. Structural steel is utilized as the standard material for the initial FE simulations. Boundary conditions and loading scenarios are applied to determine the stress distribution and deformation of the structure. The accuracy of the model is validated against established literature, and simulations are extended across different dimensions and shapes to identify the most effective configuration. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into optimizing honeycomb designs for improved mechanical performance and efficiency in engineering applications.
