In this work, the functionally graded honeycomb structures with defects are investigated. It is shown how patterns and locations of defects, as well density gradients, can affect in-plane dynamic crushing behavior honeycombs. Numerical results show that due to missing vertical cell walls, deformation process for transverse-vertical mixing more complicated than pure defects. For honeycombs negative gradient, I-shape band dominant during crushing. However, positive gradient crushed...
