Abstract

This study employs quaternion-based rotational transformations on Gyroid type triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattices fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). Quasi-static compression tests reveal intrinsic rotation-geometry-property relationships. Rotational transformations alter topological symmetry: the original Gyroid maintains a stable relative cross-sectional area (0.5), whereas the Gyroid-[110]-90° configuration exhibits periodic fluctuations (0.25–0.75). Attributed to periodic material distribution, the Gyroid-[110]-90° configuration achieves a 28.14% yield strength enhancement with retained deformation stability. Its graded architecture induces progressive layer-wise compression, delivering superior energy absorption performance (74.2% efficiency; 36.0 MJ/m3 capacity). These findings demonstrate programmable mechanical tailoring via rotational design in TPMS-based metamaterials.
