Design and Simulation of Hierarchical Metamaterials Based on TPMS
摘要
Architected materials with hierarchical structure can be effectively used in the design of devices that must guarantee large ductility and energy absorption capability. Some recent results on metamaterials constituted by Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) are presented. Geometric and elastic properties of periodic scaffolds are obtained via homogenization for some common kinds of TPMS. A procedure based on B-spline interpolation is used for the design and analysis of hierarchical designs. A case study related to medical implants is presented.
