description In the composite structure of spacecraft, the honeycomb sandwich structure is the basic bearing component used to bear and transmit loads. To explore the influencing factors on the bearing capacity of honeycomb sandwich structures, this study combines local tests and speckle measurement systems to conduct tensile tests on 10 test specimens with different parameters. Firstly, a comprehensive assessment was conducted on the accuracy of the loading and measurement system, the rationality of the testing method, and the mechanical properties of the test piece. It was found that the maximum measurement error of the speckle measurement system did not exceed 0.01 mm, and the differences between the yield load and failure load measured using different inner diameters of the compression ring were 0.15% and 3.84%, respectively. This indicates that the measurement system is accurate and that the influence of the inner diameter of the compression ring can be ignored. Moreover, it was found that considering the accuracy retention ability of the structure under load, the allowable load of the embedded parts is about 90% of the yield load. Finally, the data of specimens with different parameters were compared and it was found that the strength of the honeycomb sandwich structure is directly proportional to the thickness of the skin, the density of the honeycomb core cells, and the size of the embedded parts.
