Less Is More: Hollow-Truss Microlattice Metamaterials with Dual Sound Dissipation Mechanisms and Enhanced Broadband Sound Absorption

Xinwei Li et al.

Summary: Micro-lattice metamaterials have attracted increasing research interest as sound absorbers due to their lightweight nature and high design freedom. However, the current micro-lattices are limited to one sound dissipation mechanism, which hinders their broadband absorption capabilities. In this study, a dissipation mechanism is introduced by hollowing out the struts of the micro-lattice, resulting in a new hollow-truss metamaterial (HTM) that harnesses dual concurrent dissipation mechanisms from its complex truss interconnectivity and hollow interior. Experimental measurements show that HTMs exhibit superior and customizable absorption properties compared to their solid-truss counterparts. An optimal HTM achieves a high average broadband coefficient of 0.72 at a thickness of only 24 mm. The study also proposes a dissipation theorem based on the superimposed acoustic impedance of the outer-solid and inner-hollow phases in the HTM. Mechanical property studies reveal improved compressive toughness in the HTMs. This work highlights the potential of hollow-trusses in achieving dissipative mechanisms and excellent acoustic properties.

Mechanically robust lattices inspired by deep-sea glass sponges

Matheus C. Fernandes et al.

Summary: Computational analysis and mechanical testing have shown that the skeletal system of deep-sea hexactinellid sponges has achieved near-optimal resistance to buckling through evolution. The diagonal reinforcement strategy of the sponge achieves the highest buckling resistance for a given amount of material, and the sponge-inspired lattice geometry approaches the optimum material distribution for the design space considered. Lessons learned from studying sponge skeletal systems can be applied to geometrically optimize square lattice structures to avoid global structural buckling and improve material use in modern infrastructural applications.
