Une âme nid d'abeilles, ou nida, est une âme à structure alvéolaire. Elle peut être en aluminium, en tissu de verre ou en Kevlar. La structure nid d'abeilles est largement utilisée en aéronautique, entre des parois en aluminium ou en alliage léger. Le sandwich obtenu présente de bonnes résistances mécanique, acoustique et thermique. Le recours à des nids d'abeilles en alliage léger ou en acier limite le coût du matériau tout en offrant un accroissement de la résistance. Les nids d'abeilles non métalliques, que sont par exemple des papiers ou des tissus imprégnés de résine ou encore des feuilles de polyamide, présentent des qualités d'insensibilité à la corrosion et d'isolation thermique. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%A2me%20nid%20d%27abeilles

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 : (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.
