Abstract | The aim of this study is to determine the mechanical behaviour of 2D honeycomb cellular structures with deformation initiators subject to quasi-static compression testing. Two different loading directions were studied: in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OP). The deformation initiators sought to stabilize the mechanical response by decreasing the initial peak force in the case of OP loading. The samples for testing were made using stainless steel 316L that was 3D-printed using material extrusion (MEX). The method enables fabrication of structures with high mechanical strength and ductility. The findings of the quasi-static compression testing showed that the additional deformation initiators were able to significantly reduce the orthotropy in the mechanical response of honeycomb cellular structures. |
