HONEYCOMB CORE CONSTRUCTION [4 records]

Record 1 2006-03-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Man-Made Construction Materials
CONT

The honeycomb sandwich [margin title]. The core of the sandwich is the honeycomb, a structure composed of row upon row of framed cells, or holes, resembling the honey-storage facility of a beehive. To each side of the core are bonded extremely thin sheets of metal, creating the sandwich, which is far lighter yet has greater resistance to bending than a comparable thickness of metal plate.... Sandwich construction is a major part of aerospace manufacturing....

CONT

Honeycomb composites contain continuous fibers or filaments of the strengthening phase, in which each filament is surrounded by a continuous matrix of the ductile phase.

OBS

Pluriel : des sandwichs; des sandwiches.

OBS

sandwichs (pl.) : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2006).

OBS

Sandwich : (Technologie) Matériau composite constitué d'une âme très légère comprise entre deux plaques de matériau résistant. (On dit aussi «matériau sandwich».) Les matériaux sandwichs présentent l'avantage de fournir, à égalité de poids, une rigidité nettement supérieure à celle des matériaux traditionnels. Les âmes peuvent être de natures très diverses : bois, mousses organiques, nid d'abeilles métallique. [...] Ces matériaux ont trouvé de larges applications dans les industries aéronautique et spatiale, et dans le bâtiment.

Trim tab bender shall installed so angle indicator is located on bottom side of trim tab.

OBS

trim tab : Main rotor blades are of all metal construction with an aluminum alloy honeycomb core, aluminum skins and nose block. All structural components are joined by metal to metal bonding. The blades are set in hub grips at a precone angle of 2½ [degree] and are secured by a single retention bolt in each grip. A trim tab is located on the blade trailing edge for tracking adjustments.

DEF

Materials used in the manufacturing of sandwich panels.

OBS

Fabrication of sandwich panels.... Core Materials. Many lightweight materials, such as balsa wood, rubber or plastic foams, and formed sheets of cloth, metal, or paper, have been used as core for sandwich construction. Cores of formed sheet materials are often called honeycomb cores. By varying the sheet material, sheet thickness, cell size, and cell shape, cores of a wide range in density can be produced.

CONT

Les réseaux alvéolaires sont formés de lattes en placage contreplaqué, panneaux de fibres durs ou de particules. Ils sont très souvent constitués aussi par un matériau en nid d'abeilles déployable, formé de carton collé dont les mailles varient entre 20 et 60 mm selon les fabrications (...)
