Abstract

The octet-truss lattice system of Fuller and examined by Deshpande, Fleck and Ashby is here reasoned to be the most fundamental form for a three-dimensional truss system, placing it as the three-dimensional analog of the classical two-dimensional truss system. Useful applications may be possible from nanometer scales up to space station scales, in addition to the usual scales of interest in materials science.
