8 Abstract: The lattice truss structure is a porous lightweight periodic structure with high
9 specific stiffness and specific strength. In this research, pyramid lattice truss structures
12 axial compression tests were conducted to study the mechanical properties and energy
13 absorption of the pyramidal lattice truss structures. These two types of printed lattice
14 truss materials had close strength and rigidity. However, the vertically printed lattice
15 truss structures had excellent ductility and their struts never broken off during
16 compression. Three post failure styles of the vertically printed lattice truss structures
18 depending on the slenderness ratio of the strut. Theoretic analysis and finite element
20 vertically printed lattice truss materials. Appropriate printing method and relative
21 density could make the 3D printed pyramidal structures achieve excellent specific
22 energy absorption.

25 1 Introduction
26 Lattice truss and anisogrid structures have excellent specific stiffness, specific
27 strength, and have been applied in transportation structures for their lightweight [1, 5]
28 and protective structures for their excellent energy absorbing ability [6, 7]. The
30 methods were studied. Wang et al. [8-13] presented a fundamental study on the
31 mechanical behavior of composite sandwich structures with pyramidal truss core. The
33 properties. Li et al. [14-16] designed and optimized the compressive behavior of bio-
34 based 2-D lattice structure. Results show that bio-based 2-D lattice structure has a
35 superior behavior compared to other biomaterials. Zhang et al. [17] used a combination
37 pyramidal structure, and the result shows that the impact location would greatly
39 Xiong et al. [18] tested sandwich panels with hollow Al-Si tube core, and reported
40 that the structure achieved superior specific strength. Li et al. [19] studied the
41 compression and shear properties of pyramid structures under vacuum thermal cycling.
42 Micro-lattice structures were manufactured via selective laser melting, and its
43 compression property was studied [20]. An octet truss lattice structure was designed
44 via selective laser melting, and its specific energy absorption was high [21]. Feng et al.
45 [22] designed an hourglass lattice structure, and presented an analysis of its in-plane
47 In this paper, polylactic acid (PLA) was selected as three-dimensional (3D) printing
48 material. The method to print the structure was first studied. Then, the compression

63 The model was drawn with the 3D software SolidWorks 2018, and the pyramidal
64 lattice structure and its strut were printed with the Raise 3D Pro2 Plus 3D printer,
65 purchased from Shanghai Fuzhi Information technology co., LTD in China. Four
66 models of each type were printed. The printing temperature was 205 °C, the printing
67 speed was 50 mm/min, and the layer thickness was 0.2 mm.
69 The lattice truss structures are printed using PLA (1.75 mm diameter). The density
70 of the PLA is 1.08 g/cm3. PLA is a biocompatible and biodegradable material, which
71 does not pollute the environment. It also has good mechanical properties.
72 Since the model is 3D printed, the printing method will affect the performance of the
73 model. In this research, two printing methods were firstly compared. The sandwich
76 printing is defined as vertical printing (See Movie 1 and Movie 2). The printed model
78 Usually, the lattice truss structure is printed layer by layer along the thickness of the
79 sandwich panel. Along the length of strut, a number of horizontal stacks of interfaces
80 are observed, as shown in Fig. 2 (a). If the vertical printing method is applied, there are
81 many interfaces that are at an angle of 60 degrees to the structure panel, as shown in
82 Fig. 2 (b).

86 compression test of out of plane was conducted by using a universal mechanical testing
87 machine according to the ASTM C365 standard. The loading speed was 2 mm/min. The
88 strut was compressed according to ASTM D695-2010. The photo of 3D printer and the
91 The structural load displacement curves of different printing methods are shown in
92 Fig. 4. The compression curve of a horizontally printed structure has two phases: an
93 elastic phase and a phase during which the force decreases rapidly with increasing
94 displacement. For a vertically printed structure, the compression curve has three phases:
95 elastic phase, plateau phase, and densification phase. It can be deduced from Fig. 4 that
96 the failure mode of a horizontally printed lattice structure is that the strut breaks,
97 because the compressive curve drops sharply for displacements between 5-6 mm. The
98 actual destruction mode of the structure (shown in Fig. 5) also indicates that this
99 inference is correct. The failure mode of the horizontally printed structure is the
100 separation and crush between the strut and the panel. The failure mode of the vertically
101 printed structure is that the strut is bent, but does not break, as shown in Fig. 5 (b).
102 The horizontally and vertically printed structures are similar in experimental
103 phenomena during the elastic phase. When the strut begins to plastically deform, the
104 hinges are produced. Each layer of the strut of the horizontally printed structure is
105 parallel to the structure panel, and the bonding area of the layer between the strut, the
106 strut and the panel is small (see Movie 1), so that the strut can’t withstand shear
107 deformation and breaks on the core or between the core and the panel; The strut printing
108 layer of the vertically printing lattice structure is along the length direction of the strut,
109 and the bonding area between the layer and the layer is large (see Movie 2), so the strut

116 The mechanical properties of printing structure are listed in Table 1. The peak force
117 and elastic modulus of the structure of both printing methods are very close. Since the
118 vertically printed structure does not suddenly break during the compression process and
119 has a densification stage (which it is very important for the structure), the vertically
124 The vertical printing method was selected for the following printed structures. While
125 the strut diameter was fixed to 6 mm, the lengths of the strut were 10, 20, 30, 40, and
126 50 mm. The lattice structure of strut diameter 6 mm and strut length 10 mm is named
127 A, and the lattice structure of strut diameter 6 mm and strut length 20 mm is named B,
128 and so on. The parameters of structures are showed in Table 2.

131 Fig. 6 Compression curves of lattice truss structures with different strut length.
132 Typical compression curves are compared in Fig. 6. Three post-failure deformation
133 styles are revealed by the experiments, including strain hardening, stable deforming and
134 softening. When the strut is only 10 mm long, the strut is stout enough with slenderness
135 ratio of 0.6 and compression-shear coupling deformation mode is observed, as shown
136 in Fig. 7. After the initial peak load, the load still increases gradually and the post-
137 failure deformation is strain hardening induced by the contact between the struts and
138 the skins. When the strut length is enlarged to 20 mm or 30 mm, the slenderness ratio
139 is greater than 0.2. The deformation curves have long and stable plateau. The strut still
140 has compression-shear coupling effect. When the strut length is extended to 40 and 50
141 mm, it is slender with slenderness ratio smaller than 0.2. The flexural deformation lets
142 the deformation curves softening after the peak load. Densification disappears when the
144 The failure modes of the lattice truss structures in the post-failure stage are compared
145 in Fig. 7. When the strut is only 10 mm long, the strut has one compression-shear plastic
146 hinge. With the thickening of the strut, the cross section of the hinge is enlarged and
147 the struts easily contact with the skins and then the strength is improved. When the strut
148 length is enlarged to 30 mm, the strut has compression-shear plastic hinge at the end.
149 When the strut length is enlarged to 50 mm, the strut has three flexure plastic hinges.
152 The compression performances of structure are listed in Table 3. As shown in Table
153 3, a larger strut slenderness ratio indicates greater strength and elastic modulus. The
154 strength and elastic modulus of the A lattice structure were largest, and the strength and
155 elastic modulus of the E lattice structure was smallest. The maximum strength was more
156 than four times of the minimum strength; the maximum elastic modulus was more than
158 Specific strength and stiffness are also important indexes for measuring structural
159 compression performance. These are defined as the ratio of strength and elastic modulus
160 to the core layer density ρ (the relative density of the structure, multiplied by the density
161 of the material). The core layer density of lattice structure is shown in Table 2. Specific
162 strength and stiffness are listed in Table 3. Table 3 shows that the specific strength
163 increases almost with the increasing slenderness ratio, and the specific stiffness
164 decreases with increasing slenderness ratio. The reason why the specific stiffness
165 decreases as the core slender ratio increases is that the increasing trend of the core layer
167 Considering the weight of the load and the weight of the structure that can be
168 described by the load mass ratio, the load mass ratio can be defined as:
Fmax
169 X (2)
m
170 Where X represents the load mass ratio, 𝐹𝑚𝑎𝑥 represents the peak force of the lattice
171 structure, and 𝑚 represents the mass of the lattice structure. The load mass ratios of
172 lattice structures are listed in Table 3. Table 3 shows that the load mass ratio decreases
173 gradually with decreasing slenderness of the strut ratio. This is the case since a structure
174 with high slenderness ratio of the strut is lighter than a structure with small slenderness
175 ratio of the strut. Consequently, when the peak forces structures can withstand are
176 basically identical, the larger slenderness ratio of the strut indicates the larger load mass
177 ratio of the structure. Among the lattice structures, the structure with the largest load
178 mass ratio was the structure with a strut length of 10 mm, and its load mass ratio was
179 544 N/g. The maximum load mass ratio was more than four times the minimum load
180 mass ratio, and the minimum load mass ratio was 120 N/g for a strut length of 50 mm.
181 The load mass ratio of the pineapple leaf fiber lattice cylinder structure prepared by
182 Hao et al. [23] was 79.323 N/g, and the load mass ratios of the glass fiber and carbon
183 fiber lattice cylinder structure prepared by Zhang et al. [24] were 47.23 N/g and 69.35
184 N/g, respectively. The highest load mass ratio of 3D printed structure is about seven
185 times that of those structures. Therefore, 3D printed pyramidal lattice structures have

191 The densification point is at a point where the increase in per unit volume energy
192 absorption of the structure is less than the corresponding increase in stress. The peak
193 efficiency is considered to be below 1 [25], because due to its structure, the stress does
194 not decrease during the plateau stage. This does not apply to the structure that was
195 investigated in this paper; therefore, this paper can only qualitatively analyze the peak
196 efficiency and cannot offer quantitative considerations. The peak efficiency points are
197 shown in Fig. 6, which shows that a larger the slenderness ratio of the strut indicates a
198 greater stress at the peak efficiency and a smaller strain. The stress at the peak efficiency
199 point of A lattice structure was largest, and even exceeded the peak stress of A lattice
200 structure. The structure has a large stress during the platform stage, and the energy
201 absorption was also large. The stress increase can exceed the energy increase under a
202 very fast growth trend; therefore, the stress at the peak efficiency point is large. For
203 structures with less stress at the platform stage and that would continue to fall or remain
204 unchanged, the peak efficiency point appears at the point where the stress shows a
206 The relationship of the total energy absorption, the slenderness ratio of the strut, and
207 stress is shown in Fig. 8. The total energy absorption and stress correspond to the
208 slenderness ratio of the strut. The total energy absorption is defined as:
210 The total energy absorption refers to the energy absorption to the densification point.
211 As shown in Fig. 8, the total energy absorption decreases with increasing slenderness
212 ratio. The total energy absorption decreases with increasing stress and the stress
213 increases with increasing slenderness ratio. Although both the slenderness ratio and the
214 structural strength are large, the displacement of the structure when reaching the
215 densification point is small; therefore, the total energy absorption of the structure is
216 small (the force displacement can be seen in Fig. S1 in the supplementary materials).
217 By plotting the energy absorption stress curve for various structures, the most suitable
218 application can be selected. Given a specific energy absorption value, the optimal
219 slenderness ratio is the ratio that yields the smallest stress.

223 A single cell has four struts, which experience the same force; therefore, the force of
224 a single strut was analyzed. Fig. 9 shows a force diagram of one strut. As shown in Fig.
225 9, assuming that the displacement of the core in the Z direction under the action of force

252 Since the relative density of the lattice structure is large, the strut of the lattice
253 structure is short, and the diameter is large. Consequently, the critical load of buckling
254 increases, and the strut tends to be crushed before it buckles. Therefore, Eq. (11) and
255 (12) can be used to calculate the properties of the lattice structure.
258 performance are very close. The maximum difference between the theoretic
259 compressive stress and the experimental compressive stress is 10.5%. The maximum
260 difference between the theoretic elastic modulus and the experimental elastic modulus
261 is 22.8%. These errors remain within acceptable limits. The reason for the error is
262 mainly that the test strut is printed separately and the struts in the structure are not

284 strut length is 54.5 mm; therefore, when the length of the strut is greater than or equal
285 to 54.5, the structural failure mechanism is the buckling failure of the strut.

311 Finite element method (FEM) was conducted based on the ABAQUS/Standard to

313 The PLA material can be considered as a homogeneous isotropic material. The elastic
314 modulus, Poisson’s Ratio, and yield stress of the tested material are 1001 MPa, 0.3, and

328 the strut is also very similar. However, there is no strut damage in the failure mode of
329 the simulated structures D and E, which is because the damage model is not built well.

335 SEAM varies from 9.67 J/g to 12 J/g. The SEAV of the 3D printed structure is
336 comparable to that of an aluminum lattice structure [26] under the same density, which
337 exceeds that of a carbon fiber structure [31] of the same density. The SEAM of the 3D
338 printed structure is almost identical to that of the aluminum structure with the same
339 density [26], which is higher than the SAEM of many structures.
340 PLA material is a 3D printing material with good plasticity. The PLA pyramid lattice
341 structure prepared by 3D printing produces plastic hinges in the plastic deformation
342 stage. Plastic hinges keep the structural stress at a high level during the plastic
343 deformation phase. The density of the PLA material is small, and the density of the
344 prepared structural core layer is also small. Therefore, the structure prepared by PLA
345 material has better energy absorption than most other lattice materials.
