Additive Manufacturing of Architected Metamaterials

Additive Manufacturing of Architected Metamaterials provides readers with a deep understanding of the design, manufacturing, properties, and applications of these materials. Chapters cover modeling and numerical techniques, experimental approaches for investigating mechanical properties, as well as the thermal, electromagnetic, and corrosion fatigue properties of these materials. Design techniques, microstructure, and topology are each discussed as well. Materials covered include additive manufactured lattice structures, cellular lattice materials, acoustic and elastic locally resonant metamaterials, rationally designed cellular metamaterials, optical metamaterials, biological metamaterials, high strength strut-based lattices, and more, and the book concludes with a chapter focused on data-driven design and artificial intelligence for architected metamaterials.
