Are lattice structures energy absorbing?

Lattice structures display exceptional mechanical properties and possess specific energy absorption capabilities, which requires the consideration of more design parameters compared to traditional energy-absorbing structures , .

What are the properties of a lattice structure?

Each lattice structure has its unique properties, e.g., negative Poisson’s ratio, high stiffness, isotropy or anisotropy, high energy absorption, etc., and is suitable for different application fields, such as energy absorbers, lightweight structures, orthopedic implants, catalytic structures, energy absorbers, heat exchangers, and so on. Table 1.

Does lattice structure exhibit a good energy absorption capacity during compression?

Through compression tests, it was observed that as the angle decreases, the plateau region of the stress–strain plot of the lattice structure becomes smoother, which indicates that the lattice structure exhibits good energy absorption capacity during compression.

What are new lattice structures?

In addition to the above structures, there are some new lattice structures that are very interesting and demonstrate unique properties. These new lattice structures include chiral structure, rotationally rigid structure and spring-arm lattice structure, as shown in Figure 3.

What are twisted lattice structures for energy absorption?

In this work, novel twisted lattice structures for energy absorption are designed inspired by the twisted bio-structures. The macro-structures of hollow cylinder and cuboid lattice structures are twisted to take full advantage of the potential of twist effect.

What are lattice structures used for?

These properties allow lattice structures to be widely used in biomedical engineering, automotive lightweight, energy absorption, heat exchange, sound insulation and catalysis [19, 20, 21].
