This study explores the mechanical properties of various lattice structures, focusing on how geometry and material composition affect their strength and buckling behavior. It examines solid vs. hollow struts, the impact of grain size and dislocation density on material strength, and the compressive responses of different strut geometries under axial and inclined loads. Key findings reveal that wall thickness and topology significantly influence mechanical performance, demonstrating the efficiency of lattice materials for structural applications. Relevant literature is referenced for further insights.
