Master's thesis of Engineering (Civil Engineering): Energy absorption properties of cellular materials with maximum bulk modulus

There were only limited researches on the properties of 3D periodic cellular materials, especially for 3D periodic cellular materials with Schwarz primitive structure which have potential to be used for energy absorption. The objective of this study is to investigate the energy absorption, compressive strength and deformation pattern of the 3D periodic cellular materials with Schwarz primitive structure, which possesses optimum bulk modulus. The study is planned to provide these important research issues of such 3D cellular materials for energy absorption applications.
