The　lattice　structure　has　obvious　advantages　over　traditional　materials　in　terms　of　light　weight,　energy　absorption,　vibration　and　noise　reduction,　and　is　therefore　widely　used　in　many　fields　such　as　shipping　and　aerospace.　In　this　work,　a　cylinder　skeleton　structure　is　designed　based　on　pyramidal　lattice　structure　by　circumferential　and　axial　array　arrangement.　The　load-bearing　capacity　of　the　pyramidal　lattice　cylinder　skeleton　structure　under　quasi-static　compression　and　its　axial　vibration　characteristics　are　investigated　by　numerical　method.　The　effects　of　key　element　geometric　parameters　such　as　diameter　of　metal　wire,　circumferential　angle　and　axial　angle　on　the　compression　and　vibration　damping　performances　of　the　pyramidal　lattice　cylinder　skeleton　structure　were　investigated.　The　results　show　that　the　developed　structure　has　excellent　compression　and　vibration　damping　capacity.　It　is　able　to　provide　a　pronounced　damping　effect　in　the　low-frequency　range　of　204-367　Hz,　and　the　attenuation　intensity　of　elastic　wave　in　this　frequency　range　can　be　up　to　20dB.　©　Published　under　licence　by　IOP　Publishing　Ltd.
