摘要

Auxetic metamaterials as a cutting-edge field have attracted extensive attention from researchers because of their peculiar deformation mode and excellent mechanical properties. However, the unstable deformation and low stiffness of auxetic structure limit their potential development. To address these limitations, a novel auxetic honeycomb (NAH) has been proposed by combining an original re-entrant hexagonal honeycomb (RH) with cross-chiral honeycomb (CH). The proposed structure has higher stiffness than RH, and more stability than CH. Additionally, the stiffness, densification point, and auxetic behavior can be adjusted by the angle of cell ribs (θ). In this study, the static mechanical properties and deformation behavior of NAH are investigated experimentally and numerically. Furthermore, the energy absorption and deformation behavior of NAH under different impact loadings (low-, medium- and high-velocity) are investigated numerically. Finally, a series of functionally graded NAHs with varying thicknesses are studied to improve the impact resistance of NAH. The results show that NAH has better specific energy absorption than RH and CH under static compression. Moreover, NAH with θ<90° exhibits greater energy absorption capacity compared to NAH with “θ > 90°” at high-velocity impacts.
