We have started to perform ANSYS simulations to validate our three point bend test results! This diagram gives a visual of the deflection at the mesh node.

We run the perimeter shear test and the 3pt bend test in order to push the materials to their limits. These tests will help us understand how the panels will hold up in our car, both in point loads, and large area loads. With these results we will be able to determine the optimal specifications for the Aluminum Honeycomb to use for our chassis, and if additional reinforcements need to be added to ensure our drivers are safe!

Our test results so far have shown that our material can over 900 lbs of force, exceeding our initial expectations!
