Group: Forum Members Posts: 10, Visits: 43	I am working on the design of an impact attenuator for a Formula Student car. I am interested in using aluminium honeycomb, specifically the 19.1mm cell size as it is the most cost effective, and I am in the process of testing a design using this in solidworks. One concern I have is how the sheets and honeycomb layers will be bonded together. I have attatched an image of the current attenuator design because it is a little bit difficult to explain. I would like to know, along with what the best resin/adhesive to use is, what material exactly should be selected and used during the cad process. I can see that it is of the 3003 series, however I am unsure what material out of this series specifically as they are given properties in solid form rather than treated as a honeycomb section. All help and feedback is greatly appreciated! I am also open to using a different material providing it is not ridiculously expensive. The budget for this project is around £500 so it is limited.

Ok perfect, I shall use 50 microns in my modelling from now on. Your description of the cell...
