Topology morphing lattice structures (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Sundararaman, V., O'Donnell, M., Chenchiah, I. V., & Weaver, P. (2021). Topology morphing lattice structures. In Proceedings Series: ASME 2021 Conference on Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems. https://doi.org/10.1115/SMASIS2021-67531

Planar cellular lattice structures subject to axial compression may undergo elastic bending or buckling of the unit cells. If sufficient compression is applied, the columns of adjacent cells make contact. This changes the topology of the lattice by e... Read More about Topology morphing lattice structures.
