Figure 5
The illustration shows a cross-sectional view of a castellated beam with labeled top and bottom sections labeled “Top subscript 1”, “Top subscript 2”, “Bottom subscript 1”, and “Bottom subscript 2” on the left and right edges, respectively. The beam features multiple hexagonal openings, with an inset view shown above the beam. The inset view of the hexagonal openings includes the labeled dimensions: “L subscript 1” and “L subscript 2” represent the lengths of the two sides of the hexagonal opening, “theta” represents the angle between these sides, and “h over 2” represents the half height of the hexagonal opening.The one cut of a hexagonal castellated beam.
