"Energy absorption and mechanical performance of 3D printed Menger frac" by Madhusha Bogahawaththa, Damith Mohotti et al.
Porous structures fabricated through selective laser melting (SLM) are prospective candidates for high-energy-absorbing applications due to their tuneable mechanical properties. The Menger Fractal Cube (MFC) is a unique fractal cube formed through iterative removal of smaller cubes from a larger one. It is distinguished by its intricate self-similar pattern of voids and cubes repeating at diminishing scales, resulting in a lightweight and highly complex structure. Using AlSi7Mg, compression expe...
