Summary

This study investigates the shear strength and cohesion of lunar and Martian regolith simulants, focusing on the effects of particle size distribution, bulk density, and atmospheric water content. Generalized equations are established for predictive modeling and testing of future space missions. This study investigates the cohesion and mechanical behavior of lunar and asteroid regolith simulants under various compaction conditions. The research focuses on understanding how factors such as particle size distribution, compaction pressure, and moisture content influence the strength and deformation characteristics of these materials. The findings are critical for the design of future lunar and asteroid surface habitats, as well as for the development of in-situ resource utilization technologies.
