Mechanical properties of energy-absorbing structures with triply periodic minimal surface topology

In this work mechanical properties of structures with triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) topology were investigated using plastic prototypes made of polylactic acid by 3D-printing process. The application of such materials as energy-absorbing structures and protection systems for space flight sa...

Description
Summary:	In this work mechanical properties of structures with triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) topology were investigated using plastic prototypes made of polylactic acid by 3D-printing process. The application of such materials as energy-absorbing structures and protection systems for space flight safety is discussed.
