Abstract Scope |
We have compiled a catalog of equation-based lattice structures that are derived from Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) for which a low-order Fourier series fit is known. The Fourier series fit allows the TPMS to be modeled and manufactured. For each equation-based lattice the catalog includes images, homogenized elastic property data, an equation for implicit modeling, and CAD models. The information can help in selection and implementation of equation-based lattice structures for engineering applications. Using lattice structures in a design allows engineers to tailor the properties and response of a component independent of material and overall geometry. We discuss the methods used to generate and process the lattice property data, and provide examples of its use. |
