Use of honeycomb panels
Use of honeycomb panels Natural honeycomb structures include beehives , honeycomb weathering in rocks, tripe , and bone . Man-made honeycomb structures include sandwich-structured composites with honeycomb cores . Man-made honeycomb structures are manufactured by using a variety of different materials, depending on the intended application and required characteristics, from paper or thermoplastics , used for low strength and stiffness for low load applications, to high strength and stiffness for high performance applications, from aluminum or fiber reinforced plastics. The strength of laminated or sandwich panels depends on the size of the panel, facing material used and the number or density of the honeycomb cells within it. Honeycomb composites are used widely in many industries, from aerospace industries, automotive and furniture to packaging and logistics. The material takes its name from its visual resembl...
