Entered into our 2018 ZEISS Photography Competition.
A 3D-printed metal lattice wall square honeycomb under a dynamic impact test, using a gas gun. For the study of the dynamic response, gas gun tests are used (as shown in the video). From it, we can observe the deformation of the sample.
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes (3D printed) enable new cell wall material-geometry combinations for the design of high-performance cellular materials for impact energy absorption. This is of interest, for example, in the space industry (in this case the European Space Agency), where high performance but light-weight materials that can protect structures from impact are sought.
High-performance energy absorbing materials find applications in a wide range of industry sectors: e.g. aerospace, rail, automotive crashworthiness and structural blast protection.
Metallic cellular materials such as lattices and honeycombs are of interest for blast and impact protection, due to their ability to dissipate energy efficiently during dynamic crushing.
