Continuous industrialization and other human activities have led to severe water quality
deterioration by harmful pollutants. Achieving robust and high-throughput water purification …

The fractures of lattice structures are mainly near the nodes during loading due to the stress
concentration, resulting in low mechanical properties. In this study, a novel parametric …

Abstract This study investigates Ti6Al4V Split-P triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS)
structures produced by selective laser melting for the first time. The designs include two …

Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most common and successful orthopedic surgeries.
Sometimes, periprosthetic osteolysis occurs associated with the stress-shielding effect: it …

While ceramic additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have shown great promise to
create functional scaffolds with tailored biomechanical properties, the true potential of these …

Lattice structures with hollow struts exhibit superior mechanical properties as compared to
solid ones. In this study, we introduce a new type of body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice …

Inspired by the natural hollow structures, periodic lattice structures composed of hollow
struts and spheres were designed and fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) process …

Mechanical metamaterials, consisted of periodic arrangements of struts, exhibit excellent
specific mechanical properties (kN• m/kg) and are of importance for aerospace applications …
