Abstract

Honeycomb structures are natural or man-made assemblies that have the geometry of a honeycomb is used to minimize the amount of used material and reduce the weight and cost of the materials. The honeycomb structures are classifiedbased on the geometrical shape. There are various types of honeycomb core structures like square, hexagonal, pentagonal, tetrahedral, pyramidal etc. In this paperwe did two types analysis such as structural analysis and thermal analysis ofpentagonal and hexagonal honeycomb arrangements. Structural analysis is the determination of the effects of loads on physical structure. To makeperfect analysis an engineer must control such statistics as structural loads, geometry, support conditions, and materials properties.The effects of such an analysis are used to find outthedistortion, internalpressures and movements. This information is then linked to standards that indicate the conditions of failure. Thermal enquiry is a group of techniques which is used to calculate the temperature distribution and related thermal quantities in the given system or component. There are different form of thermal quantities are: The temperature circulations:(1)the steady state time (2) The steady state temperature circulation (using a transient analysis) (3) The temperature circulation after 50 seconds, The amount of heat lost or gained; Thermal ramps; Thermal fluctuations.
