Energy is absorbed during dynamic loading of structures like a car bumper, crash helmets etc. Combination of materials increases the energy absorption capabilities during dynamic loading of structures. Additive Manufacturing is employed as a tool for fabricating the combination of materials into a single product in the present study. Honeycomb structure is used in the present study with ABS and ELASTOMER as the two combinations of materials. Finite element analysis using ABAQUS explicit module is used to study the behavior of the multi-material under dynamic loading conditions. Variation in cell wall thickness, cell size and the ratio of two materials due to cell height of the honeycomb under dynamic loading affects the buckling capability, which in turn alters energy dissipation time. From the study, it is observed that the multi-material honeycomb structure has the capability of absorbing more energy compared to the single material honeycomb structure.
