This document describes the homogenization of a folded sandwich core. By using a numerical homogenization concept the components of the elasticity tensor of the foldcore continuum are determined. The foldcore exhibits an effective orthotropic behaviour with the particularity that it can be auxetic. (© 2014 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
