“…The apparent elastic modulus of the volumetric model is higher than the experimental ones (∼10% higher) while the beam models present a substantially lower elastic modulus than the experiments (∼30% lower for Model A and ∼20% lower for Model B). Regarding the higher rigidity of the volumetry model when compared to the experiments, it is known that AM lattice present defects, especially for self-supported lattices like the ones in this work [11]. These defects can reduce rigidity of the lattice and might partially explain the small increase in the elastic modulus, which are not taking into account in the models.…”

“…These defects can reduce rigidity of the lattice and might partially explain the small increase in the elastic modulus, which are not taking into account in the models. Another reason might be small deviations in the printed geometries from the ideal simulated ones [11]. In terms of the yield stress, all the models present lower values than the experimental ones.…”

3D printed metamaterials are a human-designed class of material capable of providing uncommon properties unseen in nature. However the freedom power of design provided by additive manufacturing in metamaterials is useless if reliable and efficient modelling design tools are not available. The objective of this work is to evaluate, validate and study the different options for finite element simulation of bio-inspired metamaterials to provide the best solutions in terms of material properties accuracy and computational efficiency. Based on this study we have developed a new hybrid material agnostic modelling method to compute the mechanical response of beam based bioinspired metamaterials with similar precision of 3D explicit meshed models. Different variables in the latticed models were investigated, these included different element sizes and element types (volumetric and beam elements). The effects of these variables on the elastic modulus and yield strength of a lattice structure were addressed. The geometrical models were printed in Ti6Al4V using selective laser melting technique and experimentally tested for the validation of the computational results. On the basis of the volumetric results, multi-material beam models were constructed and evaluated providing with accurate results in low computational times and recreating the plastic failure phenomena observed experimentally.
