| Abstract: | The mechanical behavior of the metallic components fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM) technologies can be influenced by adjustments in their microstructure or by using specially engineered geometries. Manipulating the topological features of the component, such as incorporating unit cells, enables the production of lighter metamaterials, such as lattice structures. This study investigates the mechanical behavior of lattice structures created from AlSi10Mg, which were produced using the laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) process. Specifically, their behavior under pure compressive loading has been numerically and experimentally investigated using ten different configurations. Experimental methods and finite element analysis (FEA) were used to investigate the behavior of body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice structures, specifically examining the effects of tapering the struts by varying their diameters at the endpoints (dend) and midpoints (dmid), as well as altering the height of the joint nodes (h). The unit cells were designed with varying parameters in such a way that dend is changed at three levels, while dmid and h are changed at two levels. Significant differences in Young’s modulus, yield strength, and ultimate compressive strength between the various specimen configurations were observed both experimentally and numerically. The FEA underestimated the Young’s modulus corresponding to the configurations with thinner struts in comparison to the higher values found experimentally. Conversely, the FEA overestimated the Young’s modulus of those configurations with larger strut diameters with respect to the experimentally determined values. Additionally, the proposed FE method consistently underestimated the yield strength relative to the experimental values, with notable discrepancies in specific configurations. |
