A honeycomb-shaped structure provides a material with minimal density and relative high out-of-plane compression properties and out-of-plane shear properties. [1] Man-made honeycomb structural materials are commonly made by layering a honeycomb material between two thin layers that provide strength in tension. This forms a plate-like assembly.
Waffle fabric, also known as honeycomb fabric, has raised threads that form small rectangles. It can be made by either weaving or knitting. Waffle weave is a further exploitation of plain weave and twill weave which produces a three-dimensional effect. The combination of warp and weft floats creates the structure.
The closed ends of the honeycomb cells are also an example of geometric efficiency, though three-dimensional. [5] The ends are trihedral (i.e., composed of three planes) sections of rhombic dodecahedra, with the dihedral angles of all adjacent surfaces measuring 120°, the angle that minimizes surface area for a given volume.
The 5-cubic honeycomb can be alternated into the 5-demicubic honeycomb, replacing the 5-cubes with 5-demicubes, and the alternated gaps are filled by 5-orthoplex facets. It is also related to the regular 6-cube which exists in 6-space with three 5-cubes on each cell. This could be considered as a tessellation on the 5-sphere, an order-3 ...
Painted wooden beehives with active honey bees A honeycomb created inside a wooden beehive. A beehive is an enclosed structure where some honey bee species of the subgenus Apis live and raise their young. Though the word beehive is used to describe the nest of any bee colony, scientific and professional literature distinguishes nest from hive.
Metal composite material (MCM) is a type of sandwich formed from two thin skins of metal bonded to a plastic core in a continuous process under controlled pressure, heat, and tension. [ 3 ] Recycled paper is also now being used over a closed-cell recycled kraft honeycomb core, creating a lightweight, strong, and fully repulpable composite board.
The cyclotruncated 4-simplex honeycomb or cyclotruncated 5-cell honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation honeycomb. It can also be seen as a birectified 5-cell honeycomb . It is composed of 5-cells , truncated 5-cells , and bitruncated 5-cells facets in a ratio of 2:2:1.
The runcicantic order-5 cubic honeycomb is a uniform compact space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb), with Schläfli symbol h 2,3 {4,3,5}. It has truncated dodecahedron , truncated icosidodecahedron , and truncated tetrahedron cells, with an irregular tetrahedron vertex figure .
