  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Metallic Microlattice Structures

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology ((BRIEFSSTME))

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to describe the measurement of parent material properties, mostly using micro strut tensile tests, and to discuss the failure modes of microlattice blocks of selected topologies, mostly under compressive loading. A number of microlattice parent materials (SS316L, Ti 64, AlSi10/12Mg), topologies (BCC, BCCZ, OT), lattice block loadings (compression, tension, shear, combined impact) will be discussed. Modes of failure of microstruts will be discussed and specific stiffness and strength properties compared. Both static and impact loading will be discussed. Parent material behaviour includes large plastic strains and material rupture.
