Tóm tắt

Micro-architectured materials offer the opportunity of obtaining unique combinations of material properties. First, a historical perspective is given to the expansion of material property space by the introduction of new alloys and new microstructures. Principles of design of micro-architecture are then given and the role of nodal connectivity is emphasized for monoscale and multi-scale microstructures. The stiffness, strength and damage tolerance of lattice materials are reviewed and compared with those of fully dense solids. It is demonstrated that micro-architectured materials are able to occupy regions of material property space (such as high stiffness, strength and fracture toughness at low density) that were hitherto empty. Some challenges for the development of future materials are highlighted.
