Energy absorption and mechanical performance of 3D printed Menger fractal structures

Porous structures fabricated through selective laser melting (SLM) are prospective candidates for high-energy-absorbing applications due to their tuneable mechanical properties. The Menger Fractal Cube (MFC) is a unique fractal cube formed through iterative removal of smaller cubes from a larger one...
