5. Lattices - impact resistance

With colleagues in Civil & Structural Engineering we are
examining the impact properties of these materials
(CDE project DSTLX1000054230 - Spatial and Temporal Spreading
of Mine Loading Using Micro-Structured Truss Material)

6. Lattices – other properties

• Tailoring structure allows interesting
behaviours to be designed in – e.g
auxetic materials
• Multimaterial structures would
allow even more - controlled CTE,
etc
