Relative core compressive strength (σ c /σ y )<br />

Cellular Structural Materials<br />

Relative density (ρ/ρ sheet )<br />

• Stronger than honeycomb at<br />

densities <strong>of</strong> interest<br />

• 10X stronger than stochastic foams<br />

• Interesting multifunctionality: use <strong>of</strong><br />

open space for fluids, other materials<br />
