This paper investigates the mechanical performance and energy absorption capacity of bi-material three-dimensional lattice structures via experimental and numerical approaches. At first, fused deposition modeling was used to manufacture the outer part of the proposed three-dimensional lattice structure with TPU material. Using a syringe, epoxy resin is injected into the inner part of the manufactured lattice structure. Then, quasi-static compression tests were conducted to analyze the mechanical properties and energy absorption capacity of the bi-material three-dimensional lattice structure. As the nonlinear numerical study, the elasto-plasto-damage behavior was implemented in finite element analyses which track the nonlinear response of considered structures. This model is capable to investigate the differences in tensile and compressive properties of the materials as well. The comparison of the load-displacement curve of structures under compressive loading has been compared. The numerical models exhibit an acceptable prediction about the linear and nonlinear responses of the proposed three-dimensional lattice structure. The results reveal that not only does the use of hybrid structures provide more energy absorption and improve mechanical properties, but also the rational combination of two materials makes the bi-material three-dimensional lattice structure with the optimum energy absorption and stiffness, in comparison to those usual lattice structures with a single material.
