Honeycomb structure of the honeycomb remains roughly constant. Once a certain strain is reached, the material will begin to undergo densification as further compression pushes the cell walls together. Out of-plane loading: Under out-of-plane loading, the out-of-plane Young’s modulus of a regular hexagonal honeycombs is proportional to the relative density of the honeycomb. The elastic buckling stress is proportional to (t/L) while the plastic buckling stress is proportional to (t/L). The shape of the honeycomb cell is often varied to meet different engineering applications. Shapes that are commonly used besides the regular hexagonal cell include triangular cells, square cells, and circular-cored hexagonal
Tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb Conway calls this honeycomb a 3-RCO-trille, and its dual quarter cubille. The dual of a "runcic cubic honeycomb" is called a quarter cubille, with Coxeter diagram , with faces in 2 of 4 hyerplanes of the formula_3, [4,3] symmetry fundamental domain. Cells can be seen as 1/4 of dissected cube, using 4 vertices and the center. Four cells exist around 6 edges, and 3 cells around 3 edges. It is related to the runcinated cubic honeycomb, with quarter of the cubes alternated into tetrahedra, and half expanded into rhombicuboctahedra. This honeycomb can be divided on truncated square tiling planes, using
