Weight Minimization of a Beam Structure Using a Honeycomb Sandwich Panel

허니컴 샌드위치 패널을 이용한 보 구조물의 경량화에 관한 연구

In machine tool design, fast traversing cannot be achieved without reducing mass of the moving part. Honeycomb sandwich panel is extremely lightweight, and relatively rigid at the same time. We can reduce much weight when we selectively utilize honeycomb sandwich panels as stiffeners on machine tool structures. Feasibility of reducing weight is studied using a beam structure with both ends fixed.
