Advantages

Bending strength gradually decreases as gradient control parameter r increases (transition region narrows)

Bending stiffness gradually decreases as r increases

Core shear stress gradually decreases as r increases

Hybrid TPMS cores with wider transition region enhance structural efficiency of composite sandwich structures
