Reduced order models for 3D parametric lattice structures: computation and post-processing in portable devices

Abstract

The Proper General ized Decomposition (PGD) provides explicit parametric solutions of parametric PD Es. Here, the same ideas are used to obtain parametric solutions of the algebraic equations arising from lattice structural models. Once the explicit parametric solution is available, the optimal design problem is a simple post-process. The same strategy is applied in the numerical illustrations, first to a unit-cell (and then homogenized with periodicity conditions), and in a second phase to the complete structure of a lattice material specimen.
