Energy Absorption and Stiffness of Thin and Thick-Walled Closed-Cell 3D-Printed Structures Fabricated from a Hyperelastic Soft Polymer

Energy Absorption and Stiffness of Thin and Thick-Walled Closed-Cell 3D-Printed Structures Fabricated from a Hyperelastic Soft Polymer

This study analyses the energy absorption and stiffness behaviour of 3D-printed supportless, closed-cell lattice structures. The unit cell design is bioinspired by the sea urchin morphology having organism-level biomimicry. This gives rise to an open-cell lattice structure that can be used to produc...
