Elastically isotropic open-cell uniform thickness shell lattices with optimized elastic moduli via shape optimization

Shell lattices are composed of smooth, non-intersecting and periodic thin shells. Their open-cell topology facilitates the manufacturing and multifunctional applications. This work proposes a shape optimization framework to obtain uniform thickness shell lattices with superior elastic moduli and iso...
