This paper reports a method for calculating the electromagnetic force acting on an aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel moving in a magnetic field. This research is motivated by the non-contact electromagnetic detumbling technology for space non-cooperative targets. Past modeling of the electromagnetic forces and torques generally assumes that the target is homogeneous. However, aluminum honeycomb sandwich panels are extensively used in spacecraft structures to reduce weight without sacrificing structural strength and stiffness, which are so inhomogeneous and complicated that it is difficult to obtain the induced electromagnetic force even by numerical methods. An equivalent conductivity tensor of an aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel is proposed, which allows the aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel to be treated as a homogeneous structure when calculating the induced electromagnetic forces. The advantage of the equivalent conductivity tensor in the calculation of induced electromagnetic forces is verified by finite element simulations. The proposed method makes it possible to evaluate the electromagnetic force of a large aluminum honeycomb sandwich structure moving in a magnetic field.

Density functional theory (DFT) combined with the Viennasimulation package (VASP) was used to investigate the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of one-dimensional stanene nanoribbons (SnNRs) and Na, Mg, and Al-adsorbed SnNRs. The SnNRs, with a width of 10 Sn atoms and hydrogen-passivated edges, retained their hexagonal honeycomb structure after structural optimization. Both pristine and adsorbed SnNRs exhibit narrow band gap semiconducting behavior, with pristine SnNRs being non-magnetic and adsorbed SnNRs showing non-zero magnetic moments.

This study investigates the compressive behavior of aluminum honeycombs partially filled with expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, emphasizing the effects of filler area fractions and vertex contact locations on energy absorption and crush characteristics. Axial quasi-static compression tests evaluated energy absorption, mean crush force, specific energy absorption, and crush force efficiency. Results revealed that partially filled honeycombs significantly enhance energy absorption and mean crush force compared to their unfilled counterparts.

Lightweight porous structural materials have excellent energy absorption performance, and their application are gradually appeared. This paper takes the shock-absorbing material of nuclear equipment transportation casks as the starting point, and manufactures an orthogonal trapezoidal aluminum honeycomb by welding (WOTAH). The mechanical properties with different cell thicknesses and cell size ratios under different impact loads are studied through experimental and simulation methods, and the deformation process and energy absorption performance of the materials are obtained.

Sandwich panels are widely used in the naval and aerospace industries to withstand the normal tensile, compressive, and shear stresses associated with bending. The faces of sandwich composites are usually made of metals such as aluminum and, in some studies with composites, using a polymeric matrix, but there are no studies in the literature using a castor oil polyurethane matrix. The core of the panel must keep the faces apart and be rigid perpendicular to them.

It is expected that two-dimensional (2D) metal nitrides (MNs) consisting of the 13th group elements of the periodic table and nitrogen, namely aluminium nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN), indium nitride (InN) and thallium nitride (TlN), have enhanced physical and mechanical properties due to the honeycomb, graphene-like atomic arrangement characteristic of these compounds. The basis for the correct design and improved performance of nanodevices and complex structures based on 2D MNs from the 13th group is an understanding of the mechanical response of their components. In this context, a comparative study to determine the elastic properties of metal nitride nanosheets was carried out making use of the nanoscale continuum modelling (or molecular structural mechanics) method.
