The effect of architecture on the mechanical properties of cellular structures based on the IWP minimal surface

摘要: Architected materials are engineered to utilize their topological aspects enhance the related physical and mechanical properties. With witnessed progressive advancements in fabrication techniques, obstacles challenges experienced manufacturing geometrically complex architected mitigated. Different strut-based lattice structures have been investigated for topology-property relationship. However, focus on design has recently shifted toward with mathematically defined architectures. In this work, we investigate architecture-property relationship associated possible configurations of employing attained Schoen’s I-WP (IWP) minimal surface create structures. Results testing showed that sheet-based IWP exhibit a stretching-dominated behavior highest structural efficiency as compared other forms skeletal-based This study presents experimental computational evidence robustness suitability different engineering applications, where strong lightweight exceptional energy absorption capabilities required.
