A numerical approach for designing functionally stiff triply-periodic-minimal-surface structures

Biomedical implants require stiffnesses matching those of the surrounding bone to avoid stress shielding. Triply-periodic-minimal-surface (TPMS) structures have shown promising characteristics in preventing stress shielding; however, they are limited in allowing for anisotropic stiffness properties...
