Energy Dissipation Analysis of Coated Lattice Structures

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology enables the fabrication of lattice structures that are lightweight, mechanically superior, and geometrically complex. However, the brittle nature and low damping capacity of such structures can limit their usability under impact loading and dynamic conditions. To address these limitations, various surface coating methods have been employed to enhance the impact resistance and energy absorption capability of lattice structures. This study reviews the literature on the energy dissipation performance of lattice structures produced by additive manufacturing following surface coating applications. It summarizes the types of coatings applied to different lattice geometries and their effects on the dynamic behavior of these structures. In particular, viscoelastic coatings have been observed to significantly improve energy dissipation by promoting deformation distribution and damping vibrations. The findings provide guidance for the design and implementation of lattice structures aimed at improving mechanical reliability under dynamic conditions. The coating techniques applied in the reviewed studies are briefly examined. Application areas related to energy dissipation and future research directions are also discussed.

Kaplamalı Kafes Yapıların Enerji Sönümleme İncelemesi

Öz

Eklemeli imalat (Additive Manufacturing, AM) teknolojisi, yüksek karmaşıklığa sahip, hafif ve mekanik olarak üstün kafes yapıların üretilmesine olanak tanımaktadır. Ancak bu yapıların kırılgan doğası ve düşük sönümleme kapasitesi, darbeli yükleme ve dinamik koşullarda kullanımını sınırlayabilmektedir. Bu sınırlamaların üstesinden gelmek amacıyla, kafes yapıların darbe dayanımını ve enerji soğurma yeteneğini artırmak için çeşitli yüzey kaplama yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada eklemeli imalat ile üretilen kafes yapıların kaplama işlemleri sonrasında enerji sönümleme performansları ile ilgili çalışmalar gözden geçirilmiştir. Hangi tip kafes yapılarına ne tür kaplamalar yapıldığı ve kaplamaların kafes yapısının dinamik davranışına etkileri derlenmiştir. Özellikle viskoelastik kaplamaların, deformasyonun yayılımını teşvik ederek ve titreşimleri sönümleyerek enerji sönümünü belirgin şekilde artırdığı gözlemlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, kafes yapıların dinamik koşullarda mekanik güvenilirliğini artırmaya yönelik tasarım ve uygulamalara rehberlik etmektedir. Yapılan kaplamaların yöntemleri kısaca incelenmiştir. Enerji sönümleme için uygulama alanları ve gelecekte yapılabilecek çalışmalara değinilmiştir.
