Abstract
A panel assembly and method of making the same, whereby the panel assembly includes an adhesive located onto one or more edges of a layered honeycomb structure and a mesh material adhered in between the layered honeycomb structure by the adhesive.
Claims20
A panel assembly comprising:
- a backing plate;
- a film adhesive in planar contact with the backing plate;
- a first honeycomb layer including a first edge and a second edge so that the second edge of the first honeycomb structure contacts the film adhesive;
- a second honeycomb layer including a first edge and a second edge;
- a heat activated adhesive located along the first edge of the first honeycomb layer and the second edge of the second honeycomb layer;
- a mesh located in contact with the adhesive so that the mesh is located in between the first honeycomb layer and second honeycomb layer;
- and
- a composite skin attached to first edge of the second honeycomb layer.

A method for assembly of a panel structure comprising:
- roll coating an adhesive onto a first edge of a first honeycomb layer, the first honeycomb layer including the first edge and a second edge;
- roll coating the adhesive onto a second edge of a second honeycomb layer, the second honeycomb layer including a first edge and the second edge;
- tacking a mesh onto the first edge of the first honeycomb layer and placing the second honeycomb layer onto the mesh so that the adhesive located upon each of the first and second honeycomb layers cures to create a structural bond between the first and second honeycomb layers and the mesh.
A method for assembly of a panel structure comprising:
- roll coating an adhesive onto a first edge of a first honeycomb layer, the first honeycomb layer including the first edge and a second edge;
- optionally roll coating the adhesive onto a second edge of a second honeycomb layer, the second honeycomb layer including a first edge and the second edge;
- tacking a mesh onto the first edge of the first honeycomb layer and placing the second honeycomb layer onto the mesh so that the adhesive cures to create a structural bond between the first and second honeycomb layers and the mesh.
