Honeycomb structure, Heat insulation, Sound absorption, Tensile strengthAbstract
In this study, low-cost honeycomb sandwich panels fabricated from 6061 aluminum alloy and shredded recycled papers were tested for their heat insulation and sound absorption as well as tensile properties. The results showed that this cost-effective honeycomb sandwich structure is an efficient heat insulator, as well as an effective sound absorber particularly at low frequencies. In addition, tensile test results also exhibited outstanding mechanical performance of the honeycomb sandwich structure.
