Abstract: Various combinations of metallic and nonmetallic materials in constructing lightweight bonded honeycomb structures are evaluated. Both the determination of mechanical and physical properties of minimum and other gage material combinations and the establishment of optimum fabrication techniques are included. Honeycomb sandwich test panels were fabricated from a potential list of 80 different reinforced plastic material combinations. These included material and configuration variations in the face sheets, honeycomb core, and core-to-face adhesive. Facings of phenolic, epoxy, polyimide, and polyester resin systems were evaluated using various numbers of plies of several styles of glass fiber cloth laid up at different orientations. Face sheet splice and repair methods were also investigated. Hexagonal, flexcore, and dovetail honeycomb core with various cell sizes, densities, and thicknesses were used with a standard face sheet to determine comparative results. Core splice techniques were also evaluated. A comparison was made of resin-bonded panels and those utilizing epoxy, epoxy-phenolic, and polyimide adhesives which varied in thickness and form.
