The multifunctional performance of stochastic (foamed) cellular metals is now well documented. This article compares such materials with the projected capabilities of materials with periodic cells, configured as cores of panels, tubes and shells. The implementation opportunities are as ultra-light structures, for compact cooling, in energy absorption and vibration control. The periodic topologies comprise either micro-truss lattices or prismatic materials. Performance benefits that can be expected upon implementing these periodic materials are presented and compared with competing concepts. Methods for manufacturing these materials are discussed and some cost/performance trade-offs are addressed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
