Structural analysis of lattice transmission structures can be a time-consuming task. Fortunately, many tools and software aids have been developed to streamline the process. However, users must employ ...

Unique loading situations, such as lattice tower deflections, must be examined carefully when planning rebuilds or work on existing structures. Traditional practice dictates potential deflection of ...

Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

To strengthen alloys, metallurgists often tweak the size and orientation of microscopic crystal grains within the material. Now researchers have applied the same principles at a much larger scale to ...

Biomimetics—the field of inter-disciplinary research that mimics biological processes to engineer solutions for complex human problems—combined with advances in metal and polymer additive ...
