Size effects in out-of-plane bending in elastic honeycombs fabricated using additive manufacturing : modeling and experimental results

Size effects in out-of-plane bending stiffness of honeycomb cellular materials were studied using analytical mechanics of solids modeling, fabrication of samples and mechanical testing. Analysis predicts a positive size-effect relative to continuum model predictions in the flexure stiffness of a ho...
