Honeycombs　based　composites　are　applied　in　a　wide　spectrum　of　applications.　In　the　present　study,　the　performance　of　novel　foam　concrete　filled　auxetic　aluminium　honeycombs　subjected　to　quasi-static　and　low　velocity　compression　is　experimentally　and　numerically　investigated.　The　response　mode,　crushing　resistance　and　energy　absorption　capacity　of　hollow　and　foam　concrete　filled　auxetic　honeycombs　are　experimentally　studied　under　quasi-static　and　low　velocity　loading.　Numerical　models,　validated　with　the　test　results,　are　employed　in　parametric　study　to　further　examine　the　performance.　If　properly　designed,　the　interaction　between　the　auxetic　honeycomb　and　foam　concrete　reinforces　each　other,　making　the　two　components　to　work　in　synergy.　It　is　found　that　the　response　modes　of　the　composites　change　from　compression　failure　with　low　peak　stress　and　stable　plateau　stress　to　shear　failure　with　high　peak　stress　and　severely　fluctuated　plateau　stress　with　increasing　foam　concrete　density.　The　response　of　foam　concrete　filled　honeycombs　gradually　transforms　from　the　quasi-static　mode　with　global　deformation　to　dynamic　mode　with　localized　crushing　near　loading　end,　and　the　effective　Poisson＇s　ratio　of　the　composites　decreases,　both　with　increasing　compression　speed.
