Abstract The lattice architecture, characterized by its methodical arrangement of repetitive units, exhibits compactness, uniformity, and lightweight properties. In additive manufacturing, such structures are widely utilized in support structures and internal fillings, playing a significant role in improving manufacturing efficiency and optimizing structural performance [1,2]. However, due to the complex microstructure of lattice materials, it is challenging to describe them using refined finite element models. The development of an equivalent performance model for these materials, employing a periodic single cell to represent the internal architecture for the comprehensive lattice system, can significantly improve computational efficiency and… More >
