| Abstract Scope |
The bio-inspired cellular structure has been recognised as an innovative approach in Additive Manufacturing (AM) for lightweight and energy absorption applications. In this study, the objective is to investigate the use of continuous carbon fibre AM (C-FRAM) co-extrusion technology to manufacture the lattice structures inspired by the helicoidal structure and Kersling folding mechanism. The corresponding mechanical properties of the bio-inspired reinforced honeycomb and squared-grid 2D structure will be reported under quasi-static compression test. The interlayer pitch angle of reinforced path will be varied from 0 to 90° which the adhesive area will be observed. The Kersling pattern is introduced to further the understanding of the continuity of reinforcement stacking. This work aims to demonstrate the applicability of C-FRAM to enhance the potential design for high-strength and light-weighting infills. |
