Experimental Investigation on the Energy Absorption Capability of Foam-filled Nomex Honeycomb Structure

The effect of low density filler material comprising polyurethane foam on the axial crushing resistance of Nomex honeycomb under quasi-static compression conditions was analyzed. Honeycombs with two different densities, two different heights and similar cell size, along with five different densit...
