Construction of gyroid unit cells

In multiscale mechanics, the microscopic architecture of a material strongly influences its macroscopic behavior. By tailoring the geometry of representative unit cells, it is possible to deliberately design and program desired effective material properties.

This thesis focuses on the design and analysis of gyroid unit cells. Gyroid structures belong to the class of triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) and are known for their distinctive geometric and mechanical characteristics. The possible scope of this work includes designing a parametric model, performing a numerical analysis and integrating the geometry in a multiscale optimization framework.
