Insert Density Study
• Lattice properties varied
and effects examined
• Design requires balance
depending on design
constraints
– Insert mass, diameter
– Skin peak stress
– Bulk core peak stress

Final Insert Design
• Cubic profile for tapered
stiffness profile on ‘top hat’
• Female thread
• Core properties reduce
radially
• Lattice stiffness compromise

Outcomes and Conclusions
• Developed core structures that outperform current core materials
used by UWAM
• Developed methods for assembling core structures into larger
components
• Developed sandwich panel inserts which improve on current
UWAM design
• Developed composite upright suitable for further testing on a
vehicle
• Developed requisite manufacturing techniques and modelling
methods for the above components
