Abstract

In this paper the effects of honeycomb core filled with wood sawdust on their buckling mode and mechanical properties such as energy absorption are studied experimentally. Empty honeycomb core has limitation in energy absorption and filled it with other material can enhance the value of the energy. Wood sawdust is selected as the filler due to it is natural fiber and no chemical substance involve that can affect the health of the environment. Aluminium honeycomb core 3003 series and two types of wood sawdust, merbau and kenaf sawdust are subjected to quasi static axial compression loading. The results show the honeycomb filled with kenaf sawdust has higher energy absorption compared to empty honeycomb and honeycomb filled with merbau sawdust. But, for Specific Energy Absorb (SEA), the empty honeycomb core has higher value compared with the honeycomb with the filler due to the weight of empty honeycomb core is lower compared to other specimens.
