Abstract
The current study is focused on the static and dynamic behavior of different 3D-printed lattice structures fabricated by selective laser sintering (SLS) technique. To this end, body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic lattice structures were designed and printed using polyamide 12 (PA 12) material. A series of compression tests were performed on the lattice specimens under static loading conditions. We used the conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) at the impact speed of 12 m/s to determine the dynamic behavior of 3D-printed structures under high strain rate. In experimental practices, a high-speed camera was utilized as non-contact optical technique to document the process from initial impact till the specimen failure. In addition, finite element models were developed to determine the dynamic mechanical response of the lattice models. The experimental results indicated that the compressive strength increased with the loading rate. It confirmed the strain rare sensitivity of the studied PA 12. The results of this study can be employed to enhance the design of 3D-printed lattice structures for their further engineering applications.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering (ACME) publishes both theoretical and experimental original research articles which explore or exploit new ideas and techniques in three main areas: structural engineering, mechanics of materials and materials science.
The aim of the journal is to advance science related to structural engineering focusing on structures, machines and mechanical systems. The journal also promotes advancement in the area of mechanics of materials, by publishing most recent findings in elasticity, plasticity, rheology, fatigue and fracture mechanics.
The third area the journal is concentrating on is materials science, with emphasis on metals, composites, etc., their structures and properties as well as methods of evaluation.
In addition to research papers, the Editorial Board welcomes state-of-the-art reviews on specialized topics. All such articles have to be sent to the Editor-in-Chief before submission for pre-submission review process. Only articles approved by the Editor-in-Chief in pre-submission process can be submitted to the journal for further processing. Approval in pre-submission stage doesn''t guarantee acceptance for publication as all papers are subject to a regular referee procedure.
