Title: Multi-morphology lattices lead to improved plastic energy absorption

Abstract

While lattice metamaterials can achieve exceptional energy absorption by tailoring periodically distributed heterogeneous unit cells, relatively little focus has been placed on engineering heterogeneity above the unit-cell level. In this work, the energy-absorption performance of lattice metamaterials with a heterogeneous spatial layout of different unit cell architectures was studied. Such multi-morphology lattices can harness the distinct mechanical properties of different unit cells while being composed out of a single base material. A rational design approach was developed to explore the design space of these lattices, inspiring a non-intuitive design which was evaluated alongside designs based on mixture rules. Fabrication was carried out using two different base materials: 316L stainless steel and Vero White photopolymer. Results show that multi-morphology lattices can be used to achieve higher specific energy absorption than homogeneous lattice metamaterials. Additionally, it is shown that a rational design approach can inspire multi-morphology lattices which exceed rule-of-mixtures expectations.
