Popis: This work investigates the mechanical behavior under out-of-plane compression of the Al core and honeycomb sandwich at increasing temperatures of up to 300 °C. After the first introductive theoretical modeling on room-temperature compressive behavior, the experimental results at increasing temperatures up to 300 °C are presented and discussed. The analysis of the results shows that peak stress, plateau stress, and specific absorbed energy gradually decrease as the temperature increases. The final densification occurs always at the same strain level (around 75%). Sandwich honeycomb test temperatures have been limited to 200 °C for bonding problems of the skin to the sandwich due to the glue. The experimental and modeling results agree well at room temperature as well at increasing temperatures. The results can provide useful information to choose base materials for greater energy absorption at increasing temperatures.
