Knowledge of the transverse mechanical properties of honeycomb cores i
s essential for the design of sandwich panels. This paper deals with t
he calculation of the transverse shear moduli of a honeycomb sandwich
panel by making a finite element study of a representative unit cell.
Stress contours inside the honeycomb are also provided. Three cell geo
metries are studied and the influence of the thickness on the shear mo
dulus and on the homogeneity of the shear stress field is investigated
