Honeycomb structure Honeycomb structure Honeycomb structures are natural or man-made structures that have the geometry of a honeycomb to allow the minimization of the amount of used material to reach minimal weight and minimal material cost. The geometry of honeycomb structures can vary widely but the common feature of all such structures is an array of hollow cells formed between thin vertical walls. The cells are often columnar and hexagonal in shape. A honeycomb shaped structure provides a material with minimal density and relative high out-of-plane compression properties and out-of-plane shear properties. Man-made honeycomb structural materials are commonly made by layering a
Cubic honeycomb cells.<br>Although it is not uniform, constructionally it can be given as Coxeter diagrams or . <HR> The runcic cantitruncated cubic honeycomb or runcic cantitruncated cubic cellulation contains cells: snub cubes, rhombicuboctahedrons, and cubes. In addition the gaps created at the alternated vertices form an irregular cell.<br>Although it is not uniform, constructionally it can be given as Coxeter diagram . <HR> The runcitruncated cubic honeycomb or runcitruncated cubic cellulation is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of rhombicuboctahedra, truncated cubes, octagonal prisms, and cubes in a ratio of 1:1:3:3. Its name is derived from its
