Abstract
A component, including a part, comprising a honeycomb-like structure formed from at least a seamless resin-infused fiber composite material. The honeycomb-like structure includes a first plurality of honeycomb-like cells, and a second plurality of honeycomb-like cells, different than the first plurality of honeycomb-like cells.
Claims19
A component comprising:
- a part comprising a honeycomb-like structure attached to a first surface, the first surface formed from at least a seamless resin-infused fiber composite material, wherein the honeycomb-like structure comprises:
- a first plurality of cells;
- and
- a second plurality of cells, different than the first plurality of cells;
- wherein first cells of the first plurality of cells have walls that have different varying thicknesses, at either or both of, a top or bottom portions of the walls, relative to second cells of the second plurality of cells.

A method of manufacturing a part comprising a honeycomb-like structure attached to a first panel, the first panel formed from at least a seamless resin-infused fiber composite material, the method comprising:
- forming a first honeycomb-like structure together with a second honeycomb-like structure, wherein the first honeycomb-like structure has first cells and the second honeycomb-like structure has second cells, wherein the first cells have walls that have different varying thicknesses, at either or both of, a top or bottom portions of the walls, relative to the second cells.
A component comprising:
- a part comprising a honeycomb-like structure attached to a first surface, the first surface formed from at least a seamless resin-infused fiber composite material, wherein the honeycomb-like structure comprises:
- a first plurality of cells;
- and
- a second plurality of cells, different than the first plurality of cells;
- wherein both the first plurality of cells and the second plurality of cells comprise a first material along a first portion and a second material along a second portion, and wherein the second material is different than the first material.
