This study demonstrates that two-and three-dimensional spatially graded,truss-based polymeric-material meta-materials can be designed for beneficial impact mitigation and energy absorption capabilities.Through a combi-nation of numerical and experimental techniques,we highlight the broad property space of periodic viscoelastic trusses,realized using 3D printing via selective laser sintering.Extending beyond periodic designs,we investigate the impact response of spatially variant viscoelastic lattices in both two and three dimensions.Our result reveal that introducing spatial variations in lattice topology allows for redirecting of the impact trajectory,opening new opportunities for engineering and tailoring lightweight materials with target impact functionality.This is achieved through the combined selection of base material and metamaterial design.
