Design of thick honeycomb core structures

The demand for weight reduction in flight vehicles suggests the use of lightweight sandwich structures. Several factors must be considered to obtain minimum-weight sandwich constructions. High-strength thin facings combined with lightweight thick core can offer a highly efficient structure when careful consideration is given to practical proportions between facings and core, edge design details, and manufacturing techniques. This paper discusses design approaches to relatively thick-core sandwich constructions. 'A large cylindrical structure subjected to axial compression loading and panel-type structures requiring low deflection under transverse loads are briefly analyzed. The selection of structural adhesives for thick-core structures and manufacturing considerations also are discussed.
