Evaluation Of Additively Manufactured Lattices Under High Strain Rate Impact, Derek G. Spear
Evaluation Of Additively Manufactured Lattices Under High Strain Rate Impact, Derek G. Spear
Theses and Dissertations
Several additively manufactured lattice designs and configurations were evaluated under compression loads under various strain rates from quasi-static to highly dynamic. These experiments examined how the mechanical behavior of the lattice changed based on the lattice design properties and the applied strain rates. The modulus of elasticity, yield strength, plateau stress, and toughness were observed to decrease with an increase in strain rate, revealing that the lattice designs exhibit a negative strain rate sensitivity. A new lattice flow stress model was developed to account for the mechanical response of the lattice and was incorporated into a computational model for simulation. …
