Abstract

In this paper, the torsional rigidity of micro-lattice plates is investigated using a FE analysis. In particular, the effect of the overall length of the plate and the unit-cell geometry on the torsional rigidity are discussed. Also, a theoretical approach, based on classical beam theory, for predicting the rigidity is proposed, and its effectiveness is verified by comparing with FE results.
