| Abstract Scope |
Mimicking the crystalline microstructure enables a synergistic fusion of materials science and additive manufacturing to create meta-crystals consisting of hierarchical self-similar structures: crystalline microstructure (natural crystals) within crystal-like architectures (artificial crystals). Engineering such hierarchical structures provides excellent opportunities to translate the metallurgical strengthening mechanisms and create new strengthening sources in architected structures to achieve high strength, plastic deformation stability and excellent energy absorption for lightweight architected materials. Moreover, tailoring the crystal-mimicking mesostructures to specific locations enables programming the spatial mechanical behaviour and shape-morphing that help improve the adaptability of architected materials. |
