DEVELOPMENT OF HONEYCOMB CORE FROM NATURAL AND TROPICAL WOOD FIBER FOR STRUCTURAL APPLICATION

This paper discusses the development of honeycomb core from natural fiber. Honeycomb structures are commonly used as the cores of sandwich panels due to its high strength and lightweight characteristic. Empty fruit bunches (EFB) are biomass waste generated from the processing of palm oil. Studies sh...
