Graded lattice structures: Simultaneous enhancement in stiffness and energy absorption

Distinguished capabilities of cellular solids as high-performance energy absorbers can be enhanced by engineering their underlying architectures. In this study, we classify different groups of lattices based on their topology and propose a strategy to enhance their energy absorption-to-weight ratio...
