1. A spliced honeycomb comprising:
a first honeycomb section comprising a first edge and a second edge, said first honeycomb section further comprising a plurality of walls that extend between said first and second edges, said Wails defining a plurality of honeycomb cells wherein each of said honeycomb cells has a cross-sectional area measured perpendicular to said walls and a depth defined by the distance between said first and second edges, said first honeycomb section further comprising a first honeycomb side that comprises a plurality of protruding honeycomb walls that each comprise a wall end having a length extending between said first edge and said second edge and a thickness; a second honeycomb section comprising a first edge and a second edge, said second honeycomb section further comprising a plurality of walls that extend between said first and second edges, said walls defining a plurality of honeycomb cells wherein each of said honeycomb cells has a cross-sectional area measured perpendicular to said walls and a depth defined by the distance between said first and second edges, said second honeycomb section further comprising a second honeycomb side that comprises a plurality of protruding honeycomb walls that each comprise a wall end having a length extending between said first edge and said second edge and a thickness; and a seam that is located between said first honeycomb section and said second honeycomb section to adhesively bond said first honeycomb side to said second honeycomb side, said seam having a depth extending between said first and second edges of said first and second honeycomb sections, a thickness and a seam length that extends along said first and second sides, said seam comprising an adhesive for bonding to the wall ends of said first and second honeycomb sides and a support for said adhesive, wherein said support is a linked-segment seam support that comprises:
a plurality of seam support members that each have a first end, a second end, a first side located adjacent to said first honeycomb side and a second side located adjacent to said second honeycomb side, wherein said adhesive is located on both said first and second sides of said seam support members; anda flexible joint for connecting said first end of one seam support member to the second end of another seam support member. |
