Finite element analysis (FEA) of the polymer and composite microlattices. (a) Contour plot of the meshed 3 × 3 × 3 FCC structure using a 10-node quadratic tetrahedral elements after uniaxial compression. (b) Enlarged view of the area with highest stress concentration. (c) Stress propagation on the FCC microlattice as its compressed. The direction of the arrow indicates the stepwise progression of the displacement from the top surface. (d and e) Stress distribution on the polymer and HEA coating of the composite microlattice representative unit cell, respectively.
