Reliability Based Analysis of Contact Problems
The S.B. Batdorf model is modified to include the reduction in shear due to the effect of compressive stresses on the crack face. This new formulation was used to obtain the probability...

Hot Pressing of Lunar Soil and Qualification for Manned Applications
Lunar soil may be fabricated into useful building materials analogous to those used for masonry, concrete and ceramic pipe applications on earth. The process has been analyzed theoretically...

Sintering Lunar Simulants Using 2.45 GHz Radiation
In situ sintering of lunar regolith may be useful for slope stabilization, dust control, and other applications around a lunar base. Having a knowledge of the mechanical properties of...

New Horizons in Construction Materials
While civil engineers have, for centuries, built structures and other physical facilities using whatever materials are available to them, there is always the need for stronger, more durable,...
