Railway

Honeycomb sandwich structures which are used in modern train construction, provide significant cost reductions. The reduction in the weight of the frame allows high speeds, at the same time reducing energy stopping inertia. The high stiffness of the materials means that supporting framework becomes unnecessary, increasing the passenger room in the train. The railway coach partitions which are made from panels, are quick to fit and interchangeable. Therefore, if there is any damage to the panels they can be replaced easily. The use of honeycomb structures allows for higher speed, improvements in ride comfort, ease in maintenance, reduction of energy consumption, effective manufacturing cost.
