Title: | Design and Demonstration of Empty and Foam Filled Honeycomb Structures for Energy Absorption During Crash/Impact |
Area: | Astronomy & Space Sciences |
Focus Area: | Structural Engineering |
Status: | Under Development |
Social Benefits: | The project being undertaken by ISRO in collaboration with academia is directly or indirectly beneficial to the society. |
Developing Agency: | Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), Nagpur, Maharashtra |
Brief Description
Description : | The project explores the response of conventional aluminium honeycomb and foam filled aluminium honeycomb structure against static and dynamic load through experimental and numerical analysis which will provide a guideline to develop light weight structures offering better energy absorption before collapse. Proof of concept of product capable of withstanding designed crash/impact load is also being attempted. This study will lead to the development of indigenous data for empty and foam filled sandwich structures. |
