...Mohammad Fazelpour; Prabhu Shankar; Joshua D. Summers Much research has been conducted on effective elastic properties of meso-scaled periodic cellular material (MPCM) structures; however, there is only limited research providing guidelines on how to develop improved unit cell (UC) topologies...

... the characteristics of the column structure, i.e., the traction free condition on the circumferential surfaces. Subsequently, the global equilibrium problem and the local unit cell problem are consistently derived based upon the proposed asymptotic displacement field. It turns out that the global homogenized problem...
