Geometrical Degrees of Freedom for Cellular Structures Generation: A New Classification Paradigm
Applied Sciences, 2021 Cellular structures (CSs) have been used extensively in recent years, as they offer a unique range of design freedoms. They can be deployed to create parts that can be lightweight by introducing controlled porous features, while still retaining or ...
