Abstract
This paper presents the influence of the position of an applied static load on a honeycomb sandwich with core made of resin impregnated honeycomb and caps made of epoxy resin. The nonlinear analyses were concentrated underneath the area of applied force and on the side of one wall of the honeycomb. The results obtained can be used to determine the effect of a small area impact on a honeycomb sandwich or to establish the stress distribution pattern during compression tests on the walls of a cellular structure.
