Honeycomb structures are ideal energy absorbers due to the high axial strength compared to the low density of the material and consistent mechanical properties. Lighter density materials used in honeycomb structures, like aluminum, have been studied intensively because of their use in aerospace applications. However, relatively denser materials like stainless steel have been less studied. The purpose of this project is to determine if 304 Stainless Steel hexagonal honeycomb can be used in applications related to the field of radioactive material packaging by determining the crush strength of the structure.
