Thermal Deformation Analysis of Honeycomb Sandwich Construction by using Honeycomb Model.

A simple method for thermal deformation analysis of a honeycomb sandwich construction (HSC), which is used as wall plates of buildings and mirror plates for parabolic antennas, was given. Orthotropic equivalent material properties are given theoretically by calculations with a periodical unit cell of honeycomb core. The theoretical thermal conductivities of the honeycomb core agreed with the value given by an experimental and computational hybrid system with thermal video system. A honeycomb model which has the theoretical material properties doesn't reduce the precision but significantly reduces the time for pre and post processes, and analyses.
