Description
Summary:Honeycomb plates are commonly used in aerospace structures for their lightweight and rigidity characteristics. However, for modeling honeycomb structure many equivalent methods are established to represent the behavior of detailed model. In the present paper, we focus on the equivalent methods precision compared to the miso-scale model. Therefore, we compare two equivalent assumptions regarding the detailed design of a honeycomb plate (miso-scale). Then, we perform modal analysis and microvibration assessments to verify the effectiveness of methods accuracy regarding modes values and microvibration transmissibility. It can be noticed that each method has the advantage to be a candidate to represent the honeycomb plate behavior due to the lower error percentage. The sandwich plate theory gives minimal difference error for both modal analysis and the measurement of disturbance transmissibility from the reaction wheel to the structures. Hence, the sandwich theory is more or less accurate for representing a detailed model for structural analysis of honeycomb plates.
