Scope and Contents

Contents

Finite-element models are used to identify a material geometry that achieves the theoretical bounds on isotropic elastic stiffness—a combination closed-cell cubic and octet foam.
Know your limits
Lattice-like arrangements of trusses are a well-known way of achieving lightweight structures with high stiffness and strength. They are just one ex...
