Fig. 3: Comparison of mechanical behavior of traditional and interwoven BCC lattices under compression.
From: Bio-inspired selective nodal decoupling for ultra-compliant interwoven lattices
a Undeformed BCC and i-BCC lattices made of Nylon-12 using selective laser sintering; b force-displacement response under compression for a traditional BCC structure with three different strut thicknesses; c and for an i-BCC, showing a far more compliant response with fewer undulations; comparisons to simulation for d traditional BCC and e i-BCC, showing good agreement and demonstrating differences in homogeneity of internal force distribution within the struts at 30% global effective strain (corresponding to a 13 mm displacement).
