Spatially-graded 3D-printed viscoelastic truss metamaterials for impact trajectory control and energy absorption

This study demonstrates that two- and three-dimensional spatially graded, truss-based polymeric-material metamaterials can be designed for beneficial impact mitigation and energy absorption capabilities. Through a combination of numerical and experimental techniques, we highlight the broad property...
