Research on Functional Characteristics of Perceptual Structures Based on Three-unit Configuration
Using fused deposition modeling(FDM)3D printing technology,a lattice structure was created.After adhering composite conductive materials to the surface of its structural elements,the 3D lattice structure with sensing capability(LSS)was fabricated.Based on three-unit configurations,a study was conducted to investigate the mechanical properties and piezoresistive characteristics of different lattice structures in LSS.Utilizing the conductive percolation phenomenon in conductive composites,this study explored the patterns of piezoresistive behavior in LSS with varying structures and composites under both small and large strain conditions.Key factors such as stress caused by structural deformation and self-con-tact between lattice surfaces were identified,leading to the observed three-stage trend in the change of e-lectrical resistance response.By analyzing the experimental data from compression tests,the optimal lat-tice structure and composite mass fraction for LSS were determined,providing a reliable basis for deforma-tion monitoring in perceptual structures.The approach of creating a 3D structure and then incorporating conductive composites offers benefits such as structural controllability and good mechanical performance.The sensing structure can detect compressive stress in objects and serve as a high-quality buffering or damping material that effectively absorbs vibration and energy.This research demonstrates promising ap-plications in various fields.
