room temperature, short wavelength high temperature, long wavelength failure mode
failure mode
Modeling crushing mechanisms for these materials involves several steps: The onset of failure
mechanisms determine the initial instability mode that triggers the failure, which starts as a
diffuse deformation mode that subsequently localizes. Of specific interest here is the failure of
honeycombs under axial (along the generator direction) loading at different temperatures. Bloch
wave calculation techniques can determine the critical mode corresponding to the first instability
and symmetry arguments can be used for subsequent failure mode calculations. Also of interest
is the influence of unit cell geometry and material properties on the failure of these materials.
