Ultralight Metallic Microlattices

TL;DR: A route is developed for fabricating extremely low-density, hollow-strut metallic lattices that exhibit complete recovery after compression exceeding 50% strain, and energy absorption similar to elastomers and attribute these properties to structural hierarchy at the nanometer, micrometer, and millimeter scales.

Topology optimization of non-linear elastic structures and compliant mechanisms

TL;DR: In this paper, the material density field is filtered to enforce a length scale on the field variation and is penalized to remove less effective intermediate densities to resolve the non-existent solution to the solid void topology problem.
