Abstract Cellular structures are regarded as excellent candidates for lightweight-design, load-bearing, and energy-absorbing applications. In this paper, a novel S-based TPMS hollow isotropic cellular structure is proposed with both superior load-bearing and energy-absorbing performances. The hollow cellular structure is designed with Boolean operation based on the Fischer-Koch (S) implicit triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) with different level parameters. The anisotropy and effective elasticity properties of cellular structures are evaluated with the numerical homogenization method. The finite element method is further conducted to analyze the static mechanical performance of hollow cellular structure considering the size effect. The More >
