Production of high fidelity lunar agglutinate simulant

As space faring nations consider manned and unmanned missions to the Moon, there is a growing need to develop high fidelity lunar regolith simulants that can accurately reproduce the properties and behavior of lunar regolith. Such simulants will be employed to verify the performance of equipment, mechanisms, structures and processes to be used on the lunar surface. One of the significant limitations of current terrestrial-based simulants, such as the popular mare simulant, JSC-1A, is the lack of agglutinates. This paper investigates the production of a lunar mare agglutinate simulant based on JSC-1A. A modified plasma processing technique was used to expose the JSC-1A regolith simulant to high temperatures and transform it to predominantly a glassy phase. Detailed characterization results are presented to confirm that the agglutinate simulant material produced during this investigation reasonably satisfies the primary requirements of an agglutinate simulant such as amorphous/crystalline content, particle size, morphology, vesicular structure, chemistry, and presence of nanophase elemental Fe.     

热固性芳纶织物/环氧树脂支撑管动态特性分析

利用热固性树脂基体在玻璃态转变温度（T_g）前后表现不同的材料特性，制备了Kevlar29芳纶织物/E51环氧树脂基复合材料和三根充气展开支撑管。给出了芳纶织物增强环氧树脂支撑管制备工艺，其中基体温度采用电阻丝加热控制，管体固化形状采用聚酰亚胺薄膜内胆充气加压方法控制。研究了支撑的折叠和展开特性，当T>T_g时卷曲折叠并冷却定型用于储存，然后采用二次加热T>T_g和充气加压方法控制展开，最终支撑管形状回复率100%。采用模态分析讨论了温度、树脂含量、织物铺层厚度和充气内压等参数对悬臂状态下支撑管的固有频率影响规律。结果表明：随充气压力增加、树脂含量提高、织物铺层厚度增加、基体温度降低，芳纶织物增强环氧树脂支撑管的固有频率增大。采用曲线拟合方法获得固有频率随充气压力和温度的变化规律，结果可为充气展开支撑管设计提供参考。
