Compressive behaviour of 3D printed thermoplastic polyurethane honeycombs with graded densities

Fused filament fabrication of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) offers a capability to manufacture tailorable, flexible honeycomb structures which can be optimised for energy absorbing applications. This work explores the effect of a range of grading methodologies on the energy absorbing and dampin...
