Abstract
Lattice structures, comprising nodes and struts arranged in an array, are renowned for their lightweight and unique mechanical deformation characteristics. Previous studies on lattice structures have revealed that failure often originates from stress concentration points and spreads throughout the material. This results in collapse failure, similar to the accumulation of damage at defects in metallic crystals. Here the precipitation hardening mechanism found in crystalline materials is employed to deflect the initial failure path, through the strategic placement of strengthening units at stress concentration points using the finite element method. Both the mesostructure, inspired by the arrangement of crystals, and the inherent microstructure of the base materials have played crucial roles in shaping the mechanical properties of the macro-lattices. As a result, a groundbreaking multiscale hierarchical design methodology, offering a spectrum of design concepts for engineering materials with desired properties is introduced.
