Abstract: Auxetic honeycomb has unique mechanical properties such as good energy absorption capacity, tensile strength and fracture toughness, etc. Therefore, honeycomb with a negative Poisson’s ratio is used widely in medical, biological, aerospace and other fields. This honeycomb has large deformations in energy absorption and vibration reduction. It is very important to study the nonlinear constitutive of the honeycomb structure. Therefore, this paper establishes the nonlinear constitutive relationship of the auxetic honeycomb structure under large deformations. This constitutive relation includes the in-plane stress, in-plane strain, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of the negative Poisson’s ratio honeycomb. The finite element model of the negative Poisson’s ratio honeycomb cells is established, and the calculated results of finite element model are compared with that of the theoretical calculation results. On this basis, the influence of the geometric parameters on the mechanical properties of the structure is studied. The results of this paper will provide a theoretical basis for the further study of the auxetic honeycomb sandwich structure and provide a basis for the engineering application of honeycomb structures.
