Abstract Additively-manufactured microlattice materials have attracted much attention due to their outstanding mechanical properties and energy absorption capacity. Considering the high cost of 3D printing, numerical simulation has become the most common approach for predicting and optimizing the mechanical performance of micro-lattice materials. The current study provides an efficient method to incorporate the printing process induced geometric defects in the lattice models. Numerical simulations are performed to precisely predict the mechanical response of the printed microlattice materials under quasi-static and dynamic loadings. Furthermore, the microlattice structures are graphically represented based on their mesoscopic structural characteristics. Accordingly, More >
