Development of a Viable Concrete Printing Process Sungwoo Lim, Richard Buswell, Thanh Le, Rene Wackrow, Simon Austin, Alistair Gibb, Tony Thorpe Pages 665-670 (2011 Proceedings the 28th ISARC, Seoul, Korea, ISBN 978-89-954572-4-5, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: A novel process has been developed, inspired and informed by advances in 3D printing, which potential to produce highly customised building components. Whilst still their infancy, these technologies could create new era architecture that...
Abstract For a sustainable human presence on the Moon, it is critical to develop technologies that could utilise locally available resources (a.k.a. in situ resource utilisation or ISRU) for habitat construction. As surface soil one of most widely at we have investigated viability microwave heating lunar simulant (JSC-1A). JSC-1A was thermally treated bespoke apparatus using 2.45 GHz frequency, five different powers range 250 W 1000 W. The structural properties resulting products were...
Identifying the best technique for extracting water ice deposits in permanently shadowed regions at lunar poles will be crucial determining how successful a long-term or permanent settlement these locations future scientific and technology missions. This study uses low-power microwave heating method to extract from icy simulants. Samples of highland mare simulants different contents (3–15 wt %) were heated using 250 W, 2.45 GHz microwaves. A maximum 67 ± 5% [2SD] was extracted during runs 25...
Using automated additive construction (AAC), low-fidelity large-scale compressive structures can be produced out of a wide variety materials found in the environment. Compression-intensive need not utilize that have tight specifications for internal force management, meaning production building do require costly methods their preparation. Where certain degree surface roughness tolerated, lower-fidelity numerical control deposited provide low-cost means automating processes, which utilized...
To achieve a sustainable human presence on the Moon, it is critical to develop technologies utilising local resources (a.k.a. in-situ resource utilisation or ISRU) for construction and extraction. In this study, we investigate viability of microwave heating two lunar soil simulants (JSC-1A OPRH3N) under vacuum conditions, simulate surface environment compared previous studies performed at atmospheric pressure. All are thermally treated in bespoke 2.45 GHz apparatus using three input powers:...
Establishing a permanent, self-sufficient habitat for humans on planetary bodies is critical successful space exploration. In-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) of locally available resources offers the possibility an energy-efficient and cost-effective approach. This paper considers high-temperature processing molten lunar regolith under conditions which represent environment, namely low gravity, temperature, negligible atmospheric pressure. The rheological properties low-titanium mare...
The purpose of this study was to deploy a Delphi expert elicitation methodology better understand the technical and policy challenges facing development sustainable lunar outpost in 2040, including types scale In-Situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) deployment. We used three-round survey with an open first round specific questions later rounds using four-point Likert two ranking exercises assess energy technologies inhibiting factors. In order provide more certainty our potential participants...
As the design rule of semiconductor microchips gets smaller, distortion a patterned image due to optical proximity effect (OPE) becomes limiting factor in mass production. We developed an correction (OPC) program that can be applied strong or attenuated phase shift mask as well binary mask. The OPC named OPERA is based on stochastic approach other rule-free programs, but it has tow remarkable points. Firstly, proper cost function and optimization strategy enable us achieve very closely...
The purpose of this study was to establish, on a first principles basis, the order magnitude energy requirements for thermally processed, lunar regolith radiation shield constructed using an in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) approach. This done by developing reference scenario habitat and thermodynamic relationships specific heat capacity expressions determine required bring such volume up sintering temperatures (c. 1,375 K). Once were developed some power system architectures outlined...
The process of sketching can support the sort transformational thinking that is seen as essential for interpretation and reinterpretation ideas in innovative design. Such thinking, however, not yet well supported by computer-aided design systems. In this paper, outcomes experimental investigations into mechanics are described, particular those employed practicing architects industrial designers they responded to a series conceptual tasks. Analyses data suggest interactions with their...
This paper presents research that aims to inform the development of computational tools better support design exploration and idea transformation - key objectives in conceptual design. Analyses experimental data from two fields product architecture suggest interactions designers with their sketches can be formalised according a finite number generalised shape rules defined within grammar. Such provide basis for generation alternative concepts they have informed prototype synthesis system...
