The results in Fig. above reveal a clear trend in the material behavior when subjected to compression. The critical parts of the structure, as indicated by the high-stress regions, show a decrease as the distance from the center increases. The 8-unit case is an outlier in the study, as it only showed movement downwards and eventually buckled under 2 Hz of oscillation. Notably, the lack of movement in the 8-unit case would understandably suffer with the addition of horizontal forces for seismic conditions, making it such that the control case would undoubtedly suffer. The tradeoff of using the 16unit case and any case larger than 8 units is the loss of the hourglass shape, which would have provided marginally improved tension resistance. Instead, the structure would have a honeycomb geometry, which is better suited for impact based on this data.
