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
Order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb The runcitruncated order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb, , has truncated dodecahedron, icosidodecahedron and pentagonal prism cells, with a distorted square pyramid vertex figure. The omnitruncated order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb, , has truncated icosidodecahedron and decagonal prism cells, with a disphenoid vertex figure. Order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb The order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb is one of four compact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs) in hyperbolic 3-space. With Schläfli symbol {5,3,5}, it has five dodecahedral cells around each edge, and each vertex is surrounded by twenty dodecahedra. Its vertex figure is a regular icosahedron. The dihedral angle of a Euclidean regular dodecahedron is ~116.6°, so no more than
