Materials with negative Poisson's ratios, as typical mechanical metamaterials, exhibit indentation resistance when impacted, significantly enhancing their impact resistance while remaining lightweight and capable of high energy absorption. Previous research primarily focused on the mechanical properties of honeycomb structures under forward impacts, with limited studies on the dynamic response of multi-cell structures with negative Poisson's ratios—particularly those made of double material cells—under inclined loads. However, structural failures from inclined load impacts are unavoidable in engineering practice. This study integrates gradient design in multicellular structures with inclined load impacts to analyze energy absorption and crushing deformation modes of structures. We propose a gradient bimaterial negative Poisson's ratio honeycomb structure featuring a curved edge concave bimaterial cell. By changing the materials of the transverse and longitudinal curved bars, we design four types of material gradient honeycomb structures: positive gradient, negative gradient, symmetrical positive gradient, and symmetrical negative gradient. Using numerical methods, we examine the dynamic behavior of each gradient structure under in-plane oblique impact loading. It is found that the honeycomb structure with a negative gradient bimaterial arrangement performs best in energy absorption during oblique impacts. We detail the deformation mode, nominal stress-strain curve, and energy absorption of the negative gradient structure at different impact velocities and impact oblique angles. Results indicate that both impact velocity and impact oblique angle significantly affect energy absorption. Regardless of speed, the smaller the impact oblique angle, the better the energy absorption of the honeycomb structure, meaning crashworthiness decreases as the impact oblique angle increases.
