Modelling generalisation and power dissipation of flexible-wheel suspension concept for planetary surface vehicles [PDF]

, 2011
Flexible-wheel (FW) suspension concept has been regarded to be one of the novel technologies for future planetary surface vehicles (PSVs). This study develops generalised models for fundamental stiffness and damping properties and power consumption ...

Effects of dust layers on thermal emission from airless bodies

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2019
We have investigated the influence of thin thermally opaque dust layers on the thermal emission of rocks and regolith and determined the thermal response of these dust-covered surfaces to diurnal insolation cycles.

A multi-fluid approach for polydisperse pebble accretion

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Pebble accretion offers an efficient pathway to form planets, driven by a constant supply of inward drifting mass and an accretion efficiency enhanced by gas drag. While most studies assume a single pebble size (monodisperse), real discs contain

Influence of TiC and TiN Ceramic Reinforcements on the Microstructure, Thermal Expansion Behavior, and Tensile Properties of Invar 36 Manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines Invar composites reinforced with titanium carbide (TiC) and titanium nitride (TiN) using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). It presents the influence of reinforcements on microstructure, tensile properties, and thermal expansion. Results show that TiC effectively strengthens Invar while maintaining low thermal expansion, whereas TiN ...
