Abstract: The paper presents a description of physical properties and a characterization of shear strength behavior of JSC-1A lunar regolith simulant. Specific gravity of solids, particle size analysis, and minimum and maximum index ...

Abstract: This paper simulates the three-dimensional axisymmetric triaxial compression of JSC-1A lunar regolith simulant under lunar and terrestrial gravity environments under a wide range of confining pressures and relative densities. ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the distribution of intergranular forces within uncemented mine backfills using the discrete element method (DEM) and compares it with the existing analytical method. The virtual backfilling is ...
