There are several test programs that can be developed to enhance understanding of the impact-dynamic mechanical properties of metal lattice structures. These are just some of them and the only common ones I know but is more than adequate. Do note that it is important to note the application of the item.
Impact testing: In this type of test, a load is applied to the metal lattice structure in the form of a sudden impact. This can be done using a drop weight or a pendulum impact tester. The impact force and energy absorbed by the structure can be measured and used to determine its dynamic properties.
Dynamic compression testing: This test is similar to impact testing, but instead of an impact force, a dynamic compressive load is applied to the structure. This can be done using a dynamic testing machine or a servo-hydraulic testing machine. The results can be used to determine the dynamic properties of the metal lattice structure, such as its dynamic yield strength and modulus of elasticity.
Vibration testing: This type of test involves applying a sinusoidal excitation to the metal lattice structure and measuring its response. The results can be used to determine the natural frequencies and modal shapes of the structure, as well as its dynamic stiffness and damping properties.
Fatigue testing: This test is used to determine the number of cycles the metal lattice structure can withstand before failure. The test can be performed under different loading conditions, such as cyclic tension, compression, or torsion.
Charpy impact testing: This test is used to determine the impact toughness of the metal lattice structure by measuring the energy absorbed during a test sample of it is broken with a single impact blow.
Finite Element Analysis: can also be used to simulate the impact response of metal lattice structure, and can help to predict the behavior of the structure under different loading conditions. This can be used to optimize the design of the structure before it is built, or to evaluate the performance of an existing structure.
