Energy Absorption
Comprehensive Range of Energy Absorption Honeycomb Cores
HONYLITE offers an extensive selection of crushable cores and custom honeycomb configurations designed for a wide variety of energy absorption applications across multiple industries.
Understanding Energy Absorption
Energy absorption involves converting a moving object’s kinetic energy into internal work. The efficiency of this process depends on the load the object will be subjected to and the distance over which it is decelerated. A longer crush stroke results in a lower load.
Why Honeycomb is Ideal for Energy Absorption?
Aluminum Honeycomb structures are highly effective as energy absorbers due to their uniform crushing behavior at a known load, extensive crush stroke, and superior crush strength-to-weight ratio compared to other materials.
Advantages of Honeycomb Cores:
- 1. Uniform Crushing: Ensures consistent energy absorption at a specific load.
- 2. Long Crush Stroke: Allows for lower loads over a longer distance, enhancing protection.
- 3. High Crush Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Maximizes energy absorption efficiency.
