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.
