Cellular structures are made up of an interconnected network of plates, struts, or small unit
cells and acquire many unique benefits such as, high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent …

Abstract In 1903, Alexander Graham Bell developed a design principle to generate
lightweight, mechanically robust lattice structures based on triangular cells; this has since …

The strength of lightweight mechanical metamaterials, which aim to exploit material-
strengthening size effects by their microscale lattice structure, has been limited by the …

Metallic microlattice is a new class of material that combines useful mechanical properties of
metals with smart geometrical orientations providing greater stiffness, strength-to-weight …

This review paper discusses the challenges in improving the mechanical and structural
performance of metal-faced sandwich composite panels while reducing weight and cost. It …

Ultralight (< 10 milligrams per cubic centimeter) cellular materials are desirable for thermal
insulation; battery electrodes; catalyst supports; and acoustic, vibration, or shock energy …

Previous work on lightweight energy-absorbing truss based structures has highlighted the
potential of SLM-built lattices. Finite element models have been developed to predict the …

Lightweight materials that are simultaneously strong and stiff are desirable for a range of
applications from transportation to energy storage to defense. Micro-and nanolattices …
