Computational Analysis of the Vibrational Response of Lunar Regolith Made of Nonspherical Grains
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vibration‐based systems have shown that appropriately oriented and tuned mechanical oscillations can disrupt regolith interlocking and promote flow. Building on this evidence, the present study investigates vibration‐controlled granular discharge as a potential ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization) strategy, with the aim of supporting ...

On the equipotential surface hypothesis of lunar maria floors [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 1999 The equipotential surface hypothesis suggests that lunar maria floors lie on a surface parallel to the selenoid. This is examined using the spherical harmonic representations of the Clementine topography and Lunar Prospector gravity data. It is demonstrated that the floors of both circular and noncircular maria significantly deviate from an ...

The Momentum of ‘Developed’: Bodies of Water, Aging Bodies and Malta's Interventions at the UN
History, EarlyView.Abstract Histories of major powers continue to shape how many scholars conceptualize internationalism. By focusing on Malta's interventions at the UN challenges, this article challenges such narrative. In particular, it examines Arvid Pardo's 1967 petition that the seabed be reconceived and protected as the ‘common heritage of mankind’ and Vincent ...
