Summary

This study examines the mechanical behavior of the lunar highland simulant LHS-1E under varying moisture content. It reports compressive, shear, and tensile strength measurements, along with Young's modulus, friction angle, cohesion, and Poisson's ratio. The findings highlight the transition from friction-dominated to ice-bonded granular behavior under moisture. This paper investigates the mechanical response of ice-cemented lunar regolith simulant LHS-1E under varying moisture content. It highlights challenges in reproducing geomechanical properties of lunar regolith and references Apollo samples for comparison. Key geotechnical properties like shear strength, compressibility, and particle size distribution are discussed. This paper investigates the mechanical properties of the lunar highland simulant LHS-1E under varying moisture contents and low temperatures. It reports compressive, shear, and tensile strengths of frozen LHS-1E at moisture contents of 5%, 7%, 9%, 11%, and 13%. The study focuses on ice bonding effects under controlled laboratory conditions. This paper investigates the strength evolution of the lunar regolith simulant LHS-1E under varying moisture content, using c
