Experimental approach, which consists of tensions and shears tests of four types of honeycombs and three-points bending of sandwich plates with different honeycombs, is suggested. All experimental studies are accompanied by finite elements numerical calculations. Nonlinear dependences of the tensile forces on displacements are analyzed at tension tests. Character of samples fractures is studied. Linear dependences of applied forces on shears strains and displacements are obtained at shear tests of honeycombs and three-points bending of sandwich plates. Fractures of honeycombs and sandwich plates are analyzed. Comparative study of four types of honeycombs and sandwich plates with these honeycombs are made with respect to their mechanical properties. honeycomb sandwich plate additive manufacture tension and shear tests three-points bending test finite elements numerical simulations Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
