Summary: | The bending behavior of two (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) sandwich beams that have a negative Poisson’s ratio (auxetic) and conventional honeycomb was investigated for different geometries, sheet thicknesses, and cell thicknesses. The re-entrant and solid specimens were produced with a stereolithographic (SLA) 3D printer and subjected to a three-point bending test under the conditions specified in the ASTM C393 standard. The data obtained from the tests were used to verify finite element analysis (FEA) results. The radius of curvatures was calculated for each specimen depending on the load step. In addition, Poisson’s ratio was calculated for each auxetic sample. As a result, the 3D arrowhead beam, with a cell thickness of 1 mm and a sheet thickness of 2 mm, exhibits peak force values that are 497.340% and 461.500% higher than re-entrant and missing rib beams, respectively. Besides, the maximum strain energy values of same 3D arrowhead specimens (596.120 mJ) are higher than re-entrant (101.032 mJ) and missing rib (108.201 mJ) specimens. It was determined that the arrowhead is the most durable structure compared to other auxetic structure geometries. Therefore, when arrowhead and honeycomb 3D beams are compared, it was observed that the maximum strain energy of arrowhead specimens was higher in both horizontal (84.310%) and perpendicular (131.910%) positioned specimens. Comparing the arrowhead and honeycomb 2D beams with the highest maximum strain energy, it can be concluded that the arrowhead beam absorbs 20.000% more energy. |
