Paper Honeycomb Panel Dynamic Properties Modeling and Parameters Estimation.

Abstract: The constitutive relations of the mass loaded paper honeycomb panel is expressed as a linear differential equation. Using the Laplace transform method, we can model the paper honeycomb panel as a linear material with viscoelastic property, the relaxation kernel is expressed as the sum of complex exponentials. A parameters identification method is formulated using the substitute method. A free response experiment system is set up, the free response data are recorded and used to identify the stiffness and damping coefficients as well as the viscoelastic parameters. The identified parameters of the model under different honeycomb core height condition are given in this paper. The model and the identified parameters can be used to simulate the vibration transmissibility of the mass loaded paper honeycomb panel. The response of the system excited by the harmonic inputs is calculated using the one-term harmonic balance method. The comparison of the simulated transmissibility curve and the experimental data indicates that the model presented in this paper is accurate, the parameters presented can be used to predict the vibration transmissibility property of the mass loaded paper honeycomb panel system.
