Group: Forum Members Posts: 14, Visits: 107	Hi everyone, I am working with aluminum honeycomb structure to manufacture 2 meter diameter cylinder. my question is how cell size ore core density affect the formation of curved surfaces like cylinder? i am using overexpaned core for cylinder and confused in the selection of cell size. Is there any literature about honeycomb cell size affect on radius of curvature?

I can't say strictly the smaller cell size causes much more strength and rigidity, probably yes a little bit, but I can say much more load resistance and impact resistance...and a little bit weight increasing of course. At the panel above the impact resistance was the crucial, I used aluminium skins instead laminated. The AL price was much more lower than kevlar. From my point of view, on R1000 no issues with honeycomb cell size 5-10mm. It's up to you, depends on what you want to have...

Honeycomb cell size affect on radius of curvature of cylinder

For your imagine, panel R1100mm contains AL honeycomb HEX 9mm, THK 5mm. I don't know about the rules cell size vs. bend radius.

Thank you for guidance. Did you used overexpanded aluminum honeycomb core for curved surface? Did you used bonding film to bond core and face sheet? If you have used bonding film, what is the...

Both, HEX or OX, it depends on surface complexity and required rigidity properties. OX offers different rigidity depends on cells direction. I much more like use Rohacell, because there is a...

what is the panel (honeycomb core) thickness and you have used 9 mm cell size so strength is compromised in favor of light density core? Did you find reduced strength in your case? Can cylinder be...

That's a simple geometry problem. If the cell size (along the radius) on the outside is x the cell size will be 1995/2000x on the inside. Given the diameter and the core thickness.

Thank you for the time. but I did not understand. Can you elaborate more?
