| Abstract | Cell-elongated structures present designable anisotropic behaviors by controlling the ratio and angle of elongation, but the relationship between geometric anisotropy and mechanical anisotropy remains poorly understood. In this study, a construction method based on the 3D Voronoi technique is employed to generate cell-elongated structures with different elongation ratios and angles, and their anisotropic compression behaviors are investigated using a 3D cellular model. The stress-strain curves can be categorized into four stages, including elasticity, initial collapse followed by strain-softening, plateau, and densification, which are accurately described by a statistical constitutive model. Our finding reveals that the mechanical properties and deformation modes of the cell-elongated structures are significantly influenced by the anisotropic angle. At an anisotropic angle of 0 degrees, randomly distributed collapse bands due to shell buckling interact with each other during compression, enhancing the load-carrying and energy-absorbing capacities. Conversely, at 90 degrees, the cells deform primarily through a stable bending mode, leading to reduced stress and a lower Poisson's ratio. At 45 degrees, collapse bands appear on both sides of the sample with rotation and buckling being the dominant deformation mode, resulting in a sandwich-like structure featuring an uncollapsed central zone due to a combined compression-shear stress state. Compared with the isotropic foam, the structure elongated in thickness direction exhibits a notable increase in impact resistance under a spherical bullet. This work demonstrates the potential to engineer anisotropic cellular materials with tailored mechanical properties and deformation modes through strategic geometric anisotropy design. |
