Macromechanical Approach to Modeling Barely Visible Damage in Braided Composites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A method has been developed to analyze the impact response of triaxially braided carbon fiber composites, including barely visible damage. In the analytical model, the triaxial braid architecture is simulated using four ... -
Magnesium as an ISRU-Derived Resource for Lunar Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Magnesium is one of the most pervasive metals in lunar soil and has many characteristics that make it applicable to in situ refining and production. This somewhat overlooked alkaline earth metal is easily cast, used, and ... -
Magnesium-Based Cements for Martian Construction
(ASCE, 2020)Construction of habitats and infrastructure on Mars will require the extensive use of in situ materials. Regolith, which covers the planet’s surface, can be used to produce a Martian concrete but this requires the development ... -
Magnetic Attitude Control of Dynamically Unbalanced Spinning Spacecraft during Orbit Raising
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)In this article, the use of a magnetic attitude control system (MACS) in preparing a spacecraft for orbit circularization without the use of high-level torque-restoring actuators is investigated. The main task of the ... -
Magnetic Cleaning Device for Lunar Dust Adhering to Spacesuits
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The removal of lunar dust adhering to spacesuits is essential for the long-term exploration of the Moon. Because lunar dust is magnetic, a convenient cleaning device that utilizes magnetic force has been developed. The ... -
Magnetic Sampler for Regolith Particles on Asteroids
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A magnetic sampler for future sample return missions on asteroids was developed. The sampler had a simple configuration, consisting of a solenoid coil, direct current (DC) power supply, and switching circuit, and the ... -
