ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to find out the effect of the cell
size on basic natural frequency of the Aluminium honeycomb
sandwich panels with the help of software package and by
finite element methodology. Modal Analysis was conducted
on hexangular honeycomb structure of cell sizes of six, nine
and twelve millimeter by keeping face sheet thickness
constant of one millimeter. Each model is analyzed
underneath a similar loading and boundary conditions. Modal
analysis of the all models is performed on ANSYS and the
results are compared.
