Wire-woven cellular metals: The present and future

“…34(a). The technical details are given in the author's previous papers [65,77]. with brazed and un-brazed two-layered WBK specimens [65,77].…”

Fluid dynamics of flow through microscale lattice structures formed from self‐propagating photopolymer waveguides

“…For each unit cell geometry, the procedure is completed for two orientations of the microscale lattice sample within the fluidic test chamber, equivalent to two superficial flow directions offset by 45 in the horizontal plane. The difference in these offset flow paths for the different flow directions can be seen in Figure 4a.…”

“…Numerous previous studies characterizing fluid flow through microchannels 42 and macroscale lattice frame materials [43][44][45] are examined. However, the unit cell size, periodic arrangement, porosity and flow angle dependence of the presented microscale lattice structure are unique compared to previous microscale studies.…”

“…The geometry and associated dimensions for the unit cell in this orientation are shown in Figure A1. Due to the 45 offset of the unit cell from which h is originally defined, the truss angle h 0 is calculated from the measured truss angle h as…”

“…However, manufacturing methods including investment casting, wire lay-up, folding perforated metal sheets, or by assembling individual truss lengths onto predrilled face sheets are complicated and often costly. 36,37 Furthermore, all of these methods have been demonstrated with a minimum cell size of several millimeters, well above the ideal range for microfluidics.…”
