Honeycomb Sandwich Panels app for iPhone and iPad

This app presents analysis of honeycomb sandwich panels. Honeycomb consists of an array of cells, formed from very thin sheets of material attached to each other. Usually the cells form hexagons, but there are other cell configurations.

Typical honeycomb sandwich panel consists of facings, adhesive and honeycomb core. Honeycomb sandwich structure is used to save weight. However, smooth skins and excellent fatigue resistance are also attributes of a honeycomb panel.

• This app calculates facings compressive and tensile stresses due to bending.

• It gives allowable dimpling and wrinkling stresses for a compressive facing.

• Core shear stress is determined.

• Maximum panel deflection due to bending and shear is predicted.

• Various beam and loading types are analysed, using Metric or Imperial units.

• The equations used are displayed in a PDF file.

• The results may be shared using an email option.
