Design of 3D Woven Metallic Micro-lattices

Micro-lattices manufactured by advanced 3D weaving processes are emerging as an exciting architected material with multi-functional capabilities. Past work has shown that these materials can be tailored to offer unique combinations of stiffness, fluid permeability, heat transfer, and damping properties. This NSF-sponsored project focuses on designing, modeling, and characterizing 3D woven metallic micro-lattices for targeted dynamic properties and applications.
