Latest Patents
Shigeru Ariki holds a patent for a honeycomb core, honeycomb sandwich structure, and honeycomb core manufacturing method. This patent describes a honeycomb core that includes carbon fiber with four or more different fiber directions. The design specifies that when a ribbon direction is set as the X-axis, the cell width direction is the Y-axis, and a direction orthogonal to both is the Z-axis. The patent establishes a reference condition where the angles formed by the X-axis and the respective fiber directions of the carbon fiber are set at -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees, and 90 degrees. The fiber directions are then rotated from this reference condition by a fixed angle, ensuring that none are parallel to the X-axis.
