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
5-demicubic honeycomb for n≥5) and it Voronoi tessellation is a tritruncated 5-cubic honeycomb, , containing all with bitruncated 5-orthoplex, Voronoi cells. There are three uniform construction symmetries of this tessellation. Each symmetry can be represented by arrangements of different colors on the 32 5-demicube facets around each vertex. Regular and uniform honeycombs in 5-space: 5-demicubic honeycomb The 5-demicube honeycomb, or demipenteractic honeycomb is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 5-space. It is constructed as an alternation of the regular 5-cube honeycomb. It is the first tessellation in the demihypercube honeycomb family which, with all the next ones, is not regular,
