A Brief Description on the Use of Honeycomb Structures in Aerospace Applications

Himanshu Garg

Abstract

Following by the motto of manufacturing light-weighted vehicles with low strength to weight ratio, lower stiffness and density, engineering sectors namely, aviation, automobile designing, light weight construction are largely influenced by structural conjuration of a honeycomb. Inspired by the notion, many organizations are working out on improvised form of honeycomb structural panels. Since the adhesive property of hexagonal honeycomb structures is of major concern in aircraft component. The use of Honeycomb makes it possible to eliminate buckling of the thin skins and provide the exact amount of shear strength required to do the job, which is a good sign for engineers, as they are now able to design or "tailor" panels to suit their exact requirements. It is clear that the Honeycomb section is much more efficient than standard sections. We are therefore able to conclude that Honeycomb panels are the answer to bonding questions, as they are stronger, stiffer, lighter and give a much better surface finish than standard equivalents.
