  • In this study, the spur gear with honeycomb lattice structures are designed. The pitch diameter and body length of the spur gear are Ø93 mm and 104.0 mm, respectively. The designed gear was printed using Powder bed fusion (PBF) 3D printer. The gear is 3D printed perfectly. Even the teeth and honeycombs of the gear were output in the same way as the design shape. The printed gear with honeycomb lattice structure has a 24% smaller cross-sectional area and 29% smaller volume and weight than conventional solid structure gears. The surface roughness is approximately 4.5㎛, and the hardness is 345 HV.

  • In this paper, evaluation method of structural integrity for cone-type composite lattice structures with hexagonal cell was conducted. A finite element analysis was used to evaluate the structural integrity of cone-type composite lattice structure. The finite element model for evaluation of structural integrity was generated using solid element. In order to consider the difference in mechanical properties between intersection and non-intersection part, the mechanical properties were applied considering the fiber volume fraction of each part. Compression test of cone-type composite lattice structure were conducted for verification of evaluation method of structural integrity. The analysis result showed 2% errors in displacement and good agreement with test result.

  • Cylindrical composite lattice structures are manufactured by filament winding process. The fiber volume fraction non-uniformity and resin rich layers that can occur in the manufacturing process affect the stiffness and strength of the structure. Through the cross-section examination of the hoop and helical ribs, which are major elements of the composite lattice structure, we observed the fiber volume fraction non-uniformity and resin rich layers. Based on the results of the cross-section examination, the stiffness of the ribs was analyzed through the experimental and theoretical approaches. The results show that the fiber volume fraction non-uniformity and resin rich layers have an obvious influence on the rib stiffness of composite lattice structure.

  • XRD results on annealing studies of Na-feldspars (Amelia albite) show rapid changes in the lattice parameters of the $1073^{\circ}C$-heated samples owing to disordering of Al and Si as well as lattice distortions upon quenching of the heated specimens. While a low albite transformed to a high albite by 7-days annealing at $1073^{\circ}C$, it remains as an early intermediate albite even by 140-days annealing at $924^{\circ}C$ due to the slower Al-Si disordering rate. From the heated samples tweed structures of $100∼200\AA$ were typically observed by TEM, which showed different ways of development between the $1073^{\circ}C$ -heated one and the $923 ^{\circ}C$ -heated one. The former locally trans-farmed to rnicrostructures similar to albite twin, while the latter transformed to domain structures containing albite twin plane in the wider area. The origin of tweed structures is suggested to be formation of incipient twins (albite twin and pericline twin) to reduce the lattice instability which is increased by disordering of Al and Si as well as quenching.

  • Purpose: Various studies have investigated 3-dimensional (3D)-printed implants using Ti6Al-4V powder; however, multi-root 3D-printed implants have not been fully investigated. The purpose of this study was to explore the stability of multirooted 3D-printed implants with lattice and solid structures. The secondary outcomes were comparisons between the 2 types of 3D-printed implants in micro-computed tomographic and histological analyses. Methods: Lattice- and solid-type 3D-printed implants for the left and right mandibular third premolars in beagle dogs were fabricated. Four implants in each group were placed immediately following tooth extraction. Implant stability measurement and periapical X-rays were performed every 2 weeks for 12 weeks. Peri-implant bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured by micro-computed tomography. Bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and bone area fraction occupancy (BAFO) were measured in histomorphometric analyses. Results: All 4 lattice-type 3D-printed implants survived. Three solid-type 3D-printed implants were removed before the planned sacrifice date due to implant mobility. A slight, gradual increase in implant stability values from implant surgery to 4 weeks after surgery was observed in the lattice-type 3D-printed implants. The marginal bone change of the surviving solid-type 3D-printed implant was approximately 5 mm, whereas the value was approximately 2 mm in the lattice-type 3D-printed implants. BV/TV and BMD in the lattice type 3D-printed implants were similar to those in the surviving solid-type implant. However, BIC and BAFO were lower in the surviving solid-type 3D-printed implant than in the lattice-type 3D-printed implants. Conclusions: Within the limits of this preclinical study, 3D-printed implants of double-rooted teeth showed high primary stability. However, 3D-printed implants with interlocking structures such as lattices might provide high secondary stability and successful osseointegration.

  • This study carried out simulation for structural layout design for concrete structures by using the models of the ground structure method. The micro lattice truss is modeled as assemblage of a number of unit cells. The progress of analysis repeat to undergo finite element analysis to feed-back results of stress to the stiffness of each member. Through the repeated this analysis, truss model is represented to form the topological materials and the structural shape with the use of the local stress condition without mathematical optimum tools. It is successful to analyse the shape-layout problem as numerical samples on the lattice truss model.

  • Monopiles have been most widely used for supporting offshore wind turbines (OWTs) in shallow water areas. However, multi-member lattice-type structures such as jackets and tripods are also considered good alternatives to monopile foundations for relatively deep water areas with depth ranging from 25-50 m owing to their technical and economic feasibility. Moreover, jacket structures have been popular in the oil and gas industry for a long time. However, several unsolved technical issues still persist in the utilization of multi-member lattice-type supporting structures for OWTs; these problems include pile-soil-interaction (PSI) effects, realization of dynamically stable designs to avoid resonances, and quick and safe installation in remote areas. In this study, the effects of PSI on the dynamic properties of bottom-fixed OWTs, including monopile-, tripod- and jacket-supported OWTs, were investigated intensively. The tower and substructure were modeled using conventional beam elements with added mass, and pile foundations were modeled with beam and nonlinear spring elements. The effects of PSI on the dynamic properties of the structure were evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation considering the load amplitude, scouring depth, and the uncertainties in soil properties.
