Architectured Chain Lattices with Tailorable Energy Absorption in Tension
2020
This paper introduces the chain lattice, a hierarchical truss structure comprising two interpenetrating lattices. One lattice toughens the material and prevents catastrophic localized failure while the other lattice serves as a porous matrix that densifies to absorb energy during tensile loading. Chain lattices are amenable to additive manufacturing and can transform 3D-printable materials that are normally brittle and flaw-sensitive into damage-tolerant materials. Calculations predict ceramic chain lattices can have a specific energy absorption several orders of magnitude greater than that of their fully dense counterparts.
