Abstract
Honeycomb is regarded as a valuable structural material because of its high strength, shear stiffness, high impact strength, low weight, high crushing stress, and nearly constant force to crush. It is a cellular solid, well-known as a core in creating sandwich structures for use in structural composites. Honeycombs are often utilized in the aircraft sector as the core of sandwich panels and in the automotive industry as effective impact attenuators because of their superior mechanical performance. The hollow spaces in the honeycomb structure not only reduce weight but also ensure the required strength, provided they are designed correctly. In lightweight application areas, because they offer structural integrity, 3-D woven honeycomb composites have a bright future and possess the potential to replace aluminum and other metal alloys. This issue of Textile Progress focuses on the manufacturing of 3-D woven honeycomb fabrics, their mechanical characterization, application areas, different ways of weaving honeycomb cells, and some innovations related to honeycomb-like auxetic and 3-D printed honeycomb structures.
