Beautiful and Functional: A Review of Biomimetic Design in Additive Manufacturing (2019, background): “Perhaps the most commonly used, and well-known bio-inspired cellular material is the honeycomb, 5 which has found a wide range of applications in architecture, transportation, chemical engineering 6 and more, as compiled in a review article [91].”
Mechanical properties of 3D printed polymeric cellular materials with triply periodic minimal surface architectures (2017, background): “One of the main reasons that honeycomb structures are attractive is that theirmicrostructures allow large deformations which in turn lead to high specific energy dissipation capacity [18].”
Fatigue behaviour of FDM-3D printed polymers, polymeric composites and architected cellular materials (2021, unknown): “In ACMs, the honeycomb structure is the most popular design due to the increased energy absorption capacity that allows it to resist larger deformations [129].”
In-plane crashworthiness of bio-inspired hierarchical honeycombs (2018, background): “Honeycomb structures have been widely used in aerospace engineering, mechanical, and civil engineering due to their excellent mechanical performance and lightweight characteristic [1].”
