LIGHTWEIGHT PANEL STRUCTURE OF THE HONEYCOMB CORE TYPE

摘要

An improved lightweight panel structure of the honeycomb core type comprises two spaced plates or sheets arranged in substantially parallel or concentric relationship. The opposite, juxtaposed surfaces of the plates are each provided with a plurality of spaced rows of extended surface elements which project from their associated surfaces in alternate side by side relationship to each other. The extended surface elements are dimensioned and shaped so that substantially all of the extended surface elements are each in abutment at two spaced points to thereby provide the panel assembly with structural strength resistant to flexure of the plates toward each other under compressive loading or bending force acting against the panel.
