Please login to view abstract download link
Architected materials achieve controllable and extraordinary properties through structural design and are widely used in various fields such as biomedicine, aerospace, energy and environment. Traditional architected materials are constrained by symmetry and periodicity, facing problems such as stress concentration, defect sensitivity, and a small design space. Random aperiodic architected materials break the constraints of symmetry and periodicity, thereby improving the toughness, damage tolerance, defect insensitivity, and multifunctionality of materials. However, this also increases the overall structural complexity and significantly raises research and design costs, making it urgent to develop new theories and methods. Materials composed of spinodal topology (Spinodoid/Spinodal-Like Metamaterials) are a representative type of aperiodic architected materials, and the research paradigm can be extended to the mechanical property prediction and structural design methods of various complex aperiodic structures. This report takes spinodal architected materials as a representative to introduce their modelling, equivalent mechanical properties prediction, data driven based inverse design and applications in impact energy absorption, bone implant design etc.
