The objective of this research is to determine how the sandwich's physical characteristics have an impact on the mechanical properties, determine under what conditions the specimens will be lighter and mechanically stronger, and determine if the use of an aluminum honeycomb sandwich as a construction material is feasible. The research has aimed at the use of aluminum sandwiches as light and strong material. The study of the structural layers' damage resistance and tolerance demonstrated that the top and bottom layers play a crucial role. The thesis presents three test results from aluminum honeycomb sandwich compression horizontal, compressive vertical, and bending tests. Also, each group was displayed mechanically and simulated in Abaqus. The study determines the mechanical properties such as maximum elastic stress-strain, ultimate stress-strain, fracture point, density, poison ration, young modulus, and maximum deflection was determined. The energy absorbed by the FEA, such modulus of elasticity, resilience, and toughness, the crack propagation, the test's view shows aluminum honeycomb behaved like a brittle material with both compression test. And the maximum deflection, crack propagation, shear forces, bending moment, and images illustrated that the layers play a crucial role in the 3-point bend test.
