Abstract: The study explores the potential application of Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) metamaterials in structural engineering and architecture. It evaluates parametric design possibilities and analysis approaches while examining the mechanical properties of five TPMS structures (Gyroid, Schwarz, Diamond, Split, and Neovius). Comparisons are made between Additively Manufactured (AM) samples and numerical simulations. Gyroid and Diamond structures, which display advantageous properties, undergo further investigation with parametric design for uniform and non-uniform lattices. The study proposes simplified analytical formulations for metamaterial design, along with Homogenization analysis and detailed FEM analysis. Compression tests reveal distinct failure modes and stress-strain behaviors for each TPMS. The research suggests further investigation into the influence of the 3D printing process, void detection, and thermomechanical analysis. Finally, the study provides insights into tailored applications of these lattice metamaterials in structural engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
