Mechanical Strength of Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Lattices Subjected to Three-Point Bending
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
1. Is the model described in this manuscript suitable for polymer materials？
2. It is true that the sandwich structure can improve the impact resistance of the material, but how is the force between the sandwich interfaces dispersed in the presence of the lattice？
3. Since shape and size affect the mechanical properties of materials, whether the comparison of mechanical properties in this manuscript adopts a consistent benchmark？
4. Is Equation 8 correct？Modulus is generally linearly related to density.
5. The deformation decreases as the density increases. Why does SP have the smallest deformation behavior when the relative density is 10%？

Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscript is interesting and it was correct prepared therefore I can suggest be accepted after minor revision.
The following are a few comments.
1. Why was there as high as 21% difference between numerical and analytical models? The authors should explain this in the discussion and conclusion.
2. Show R-square and regression equation on the correlation curves.
3. Add error bars to all curves as well as bar charts.
4. What is the source of data on Table 4. Was it from literature? provide reference. If it was measured, what is the standard deviation?
5. Why was acrylonitrile butadiene styrene selected?
6. Please explain the rationale to study 3-point bending instead of 4-point bending.
7- Give details of the boundary conditions.
