Abstract
Lightweight structures have become very important in many technological applications such as aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and defense industries. This paper studies the composite lattice structures (Anisogrid Lattice Structures) as one of the main solutions. The term Anisogrid lattice Structure is predicated to Anisotropic Grid Structures. In this study, Anisogrid lattice structures are modeled using a 3D algorithmic modeling technique. 3D models are transferred into the finite element analysis environment integrated into the algorithmic modeling environment and then the finite element analysis is carried out on it. The results obtained from finite element analysis are compared with those obtained from experimental tests. The results of the numerical analysis obtained from this study show that the acceptable conformance with the results of experimental tests was carried out in past literature. The results show that algorithmic modeling can be used as a flexible modeling method for modeling of Anisogrid lattice structures.
