Mechanical performance of sandwich composites with additively manufactured triply periodic minimal surface cellular structured core

Sandwich composite structures are comprised of a low-density core (commonly honeycomb) and facesheets. They are typically used in applications that require lightweight for efficient design, such as in the marine and aerospace industries. This work investigates the feasibility of adopting triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) cellular structures as the core for sandwich composites. Sandwich structures were manufactured using a carbon...
