Cubic-octahedral honeycomb honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from cube, truncated octahedron cells, in a triangular antiprism vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . It contains an H2 subgroup tetrahexagonal tiling alternating square and hexagonal faces, with Coxeter diagram or half symmetry : A radial subgroup symmetry, index 6, of this honeycomb can be constructed with [(4,3,4,3)], , represented by a trigonal trapezohedron fundamental domain, and Coxeter diagram . This lower symmetry can be extended by restoring one mirror as . The truncated cubic-octahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from truncated octahedron, truncated cube, rhombicuboctahedron, truncated cuboctahedron cells,
Honeycomb structure in rocks, tripe, and bone. Man-made honeycomb structures include sandwich-structured composites with honeycomb cores. Man-made honeycomb structures are manufactured by using a variety of different materials, depending on the intended application and required characteristics, from paper or thermoplastics, used for low strength and stiffness for low load applications, to high strength and stiffness for high performance applications, from aluminum or fiber reinforced plastics. The strength of laminated or sandwich panels depends on the size of the panel, facing material used and the number or density of the honeycomb cells within it. Honeycomb composites are used widely in many industries, from
