The stress due to finite material thickness is spread more evenly over the crease line, instead of being concentrated at a point, as with pleat walled honeycombs. As a result, the maximal value observed is lower and the adverse effects are reduced. Second, the curved creases also serve to give better control over material properties, and third, the curved crease honeycombs do not require any of the horizontally-running creases. The curves are typically mathematical curves that can be computed algebraically or by solving a differential equation. | 2018-09-27 |
