Description
Functional graded cellular structures (FGCSs) have attracted more and more attention for their outperformed properties compared to uniform counterparts and possess great potential applications in various areas. In this work, a mathematical method used to realize the Graded Gyroid cellular structures (GGCSs) with different gradient counter maps was presented. GGCSs with relative density changing from 10% to 20% as well as the uniform ones were generated and successfully manufactured via Selective laser melting (SLA) technology. The mechanical response of these structures under compressive loads was investigated. Novel deformation properties of the Graded cellular structure with enhanced stiffness and strength were acquired by optimizing density distribution. Further investigation shows that the mechanical properties of graded cellular structures can be customized by optimizing the different proportion of each layer. These significant findings illustrate the high application prospect of graded cellular structures in the lightweight, topology optimization, and crashworthiness industries.
