| Abstract Scope |
This work investigate the strength enhancement of cellular structures via individual element thickness optimization based on the analytical model for critical elements. In order to focus on the investigation of the enhancement method, a rather simplified perfectly elastic material property was assumed, and an analytical model was utilized to identify the critical element of a number of cellular structure designs. Stepwise element thickness enhancement was utilized to investigate the effectiveness of overall strength enhancement. The results indicate that the strength of cellular structures can be improved by selectively reinforcing critical elements. In addition, the enhanced cellular structures also exhibit altered fracture failure characteristics that could potentially be exploited for more application objectives. |
