Abstract
Method of assembling the elements of a structure comprising a honeycomb core Method of assembling the elements of a structure comprising a cellular honeycomb core by welding using electromagnetic radiation, in which the structure is based on a plastic transparent to electromagnetic radiation, and at least one of the elements to be assembled comprises, in the vicinity of at least one part of its surface, a layer that at least partly absorbs the electromagnetic radiation, the welding taking place by the melting of this layer by means of the electromagnetic radiation in the weld zones.

A method of assembling the elements of a structure based on a plastic transparent to laser radiation, comprising a cellular honeycomb core and two skins on either side of the core, perpendicular to the walls of the cells, in which at least one of the skins and the core are assembled by welding using laser radiation, and at least one of the elements to be assembled comprises, in the vicinity of at least one part of its surface, a layer that at least partly absorbs the laser radiation, the welding taking place by the melting of this layer by means of the laser radiation in the weld zones.
