Numerical Homogenization of a Folded Sandwich Core

H. MASSOW, W. BECKER

Abstract



This document describes the homogenization of a folded sandwich core. By using a numerical homogenization concept the components of the elasticity tensor of the foldcore continuum are determined. The foldcore exhibits an effective orthotropic behaviour with the particularity that it can be auxetic.
