Abstract Metallic lattice structures have been widely utilized in different fields such as automobile, aerospace and so on, owing to their superior mechanical properties and energy absorption characteristics. In this paper, the enhanced dynamic mechanical properties of the modified rhombic dodecahedron (RD) lattice structures were investigated systematically through numerical simulation and theoretical analysis. Results indicated that compressive modulus, initial yield strength and normalized specific energy absorption (SEA) of the modified RD lattice structures all exhibited a quadratic growth trend with the increase of relative density beyond following the traditional law. Meanwhile, the plateau stress and normalized SEA exhibited certain sensitivity to the strain rate and almost linearly increased as the loading rate increased. Finally, a modified rigid-perfectly plastic-locking shock wave model was also proposed, and the X. Cao  X. Ren  T. Zhao  Y. Li (&)  D. Xiao (&)  D.

1 Introduction Metallic cellular materials have been widely utilized in different fields such as automobile, aerospace and so on, owing to their superior mechanical properties and remarkable energy absorption characteristics (Ashby et al. 2000, 2007; Choi and Chae 2015; Dirrenberger et al. 2012; Wang et al. 2020; Xiao et al. 2019; Cao et al. 2020b). Among the cellular materials, threedimensional periodic lattice materials with ordered unit cells have received much attention for its flexible configuration and predictable mechanical properties. Benefitting from the thriving additive manufacturing (AM) technology, three-dimensional periodic lattice structures with novel and complex configurations could be fabricated precisely and conveniently. In recent decades, mechanical properties of the additive-manufactured metallic lattice structures under quasi-static and dynamic loadings have been investigated through theoretical analysis (Dirrenberger et al. 2012; Ptochos 2012; Ushijima et al. 2010), experiment test (Li et al. 2014; Maskery et al.
