Static and Dynamic Characteristics of 3D-Printed Orthogonal Hybrid Honeycomb Panels with Tunable Poisson’s Ratio

By adjusting the two wall angles of the orthogonal hybrid honeycomb (OHH), the tunable Poisson’s ratio change from negative to positive values and the variation in stiffness can be achieved. To effectively analyze its static and dynamic characteristics, a two-dimensional equivalent Kirchhoff–Love model (2D-EKM) is established based on the variational asymptotic method (VAM).This model aids in effectively addressing the complexity arising from anisotropy. The obtained equivalent orthotropic properties are validated through unit-cell uniaxial compression tests and three-point bending experiments on 3D-printed specimens. The numerical simulation results suggest that the VAM-based 2D-EKM can predict the in-plane and out-of-plane static behaviors of OHH panels, with a maximum error below 10%. Particularly in the dynamic analysis of a four-sided fixed OHH panel, the analysis time required by 2D-EKM is only 0.37% of that needed for the 3D FE model. The OHH-ZPR panel exhibits exceptional resistance to deformation, with a maximum deformation under in-plane tension reaching only 27% of that in the OHH-PPR panel. Moreover, each 1% increase in the height–length ratio results in a respective increase of 275.62% and 281.93% in equivalent bending stiffness along both directions. This highlights that enhancing this ratio effectively boosts the fundamental frequency compared to the elastic modulus ratio, effectively prevents low-frequency resonance occurrences, and offers vital insights for the design and optimization of OHH panels.
