Simulation of Lunar Soil With Irregularly Shaped, Crushable Grains: Effects of Grain Shapes on the Mechanical Behaviors [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2019
One of the challenges to overcome in Moon mining operations, such as soil handling, drilling, excavation, and wheeled movement, is understanding the mechanical behaviors of lunar soil, which is composed of grains characterized by highly irregular shapes.
