Investigation of mechanical property for paper honeycomb sandwich composite under different temperature and relative humidity.

The influence of temperature and relative humidity on the moisture content of paper honeycomb sandwich panels was studied, and the ideal three-dimensional diagram between the moisture content of paper honeycomb sandwich panels and the temperature and relative humidity was constructed by the GAB model. The evaluation equation of critical stress and plateau stress were obtained. The results indicate that the moisture content of paper honeycomb sandwich panels rises with the increase of relative humidity and declines with the increase of temperature; as the moisture content increases, the critical stress and plateau stress of paper honeycomb sandwich panels decline linearly; with the increase of the moisture content, the energy absorption of paper honeycomb sandwich panels increased firstly and then decreased; the evaluation equation of critical stress and plateau stress can predict the mechanical properties of paper honeycomb sandwich panels in different temperatures and relative humidities.
