Vulnerability of Lunar Habitats and their Contents to Moonquakes
This video will propose a method to evaluate the vulnerability of essential components to the unknowns of the lunar seismic environment. It will also highlight the main differences between lunar seismic disturbances and the launch vibration environment. A case study is presented to illustrate the usage of the method.

Establishing Standards for Lunar In Situ Resource Utilization Structural Materials
Просмотров 1204 месяца назад
Lunar structures will be exposed to one of the most extreme environments that have ever been considered for human settlements. In situ, regolith-based materials are being proposed for construction on the moon. The benefit is in reducing the cost of transporting large amounts of materials. However, the properties of materials that are made, all or in part, from indigenous lunar resources are lik...
Seismic Isolation Device Experimentation for Lunar Habitats
Просмотров 225 месяцев назад
Understanding the Lunar seismic environment is critical for establishing safe surface habitats to support a lasting human presence. Insight derived from the Apollo Passive Seismic experiment underscores the limited seismic data available about moonquakes, making the design of structures able to withstand those solicitations quite difficult. The goal of this research is to create a functional an...
Simulation-based Study of Operational Vulnerabilities in SmartHabs by Kenny Pritchard June 20, 2023
Просмотров 11Год назад
Work on the habitat simulator (or, MCVT) has recently shifted focus from development to running simulations for SmartHab research.This presentation shares the results of several simulations designed to investigate how vulnerability factors in and around a SmartHab affect the consequences of disruptions. The damage propagation and response strategies for fire and micrometeorite impact scenarios ...
SmartHab Resilient Design Research of the Resilient Extraterrestrial Habitat institute (June 2023)
Просмотров 89Год назад
In this video we share the approach we are taking in the RETH institute to establish the knowhow to design resilience extraterrestrial habitats. The entire team is involved in this effort to generate the tools and testbeds needed to assess the research outcomes. Our control-theoretic approach is intended to design habitats that are resilient to the wide variety of frequent disruptions that are ...

Dr. Alana Lund presents Variational Filter for Predictive Modeling of Structural Systems, for the SEM 40th International Modal Analysis Conference (February 2022). Current research in the field of predictive structural modeling has emphasized analytical and sampling approaches to Bayesian inference, which have the respective advantages of either computational speed or inference accuracy. In thi...
Smart and Resilient Extraterrestrial Habitats

Presentation at the 8th World Conference on Structural Control and Monitoring, June 6, 2022. ABSTRACT: Designing to withstand the demands that such extreme environments will place on long-term deep space habitats represents one of the greatest challenges in this undertaking, and is the main the know-how to establish deep space habitat systems that are smart and resilient. We define SmartHabs as...
MCVT: Communication Network Subsystem
Просмотров 913 года назад
This presentation will describe the development of the internal communication network subsystem model. Time-sensitive networking (TSN) based communication network supports time-critical communication among different subsystems. The network controller can support dynamic and redundant routing paths to handle transient and permanent network failures. Produced by Jiachen Wang
MCVT: Structural Mechanical Model
Просмотров 3463 года назад
This presentation will describe the structural mechanical model of the habitat in the MCVT, which simulates the structure's response under operational loads and external disturbances. The process and methods used to develop a physics-based model with damageable-repairable capabilities that can be executed in real-time will be discussed. An illustration of the implementation of the SMM within th...
MCVT: Solar PV Array Power Subsystem Model
Просмотров 1013 года назад
This presentation will explain the modeling of solar PV array system from 1) solar PV plant model, 2) solar PV array controller and maximum power point tracking, and 3) damageability and reparability features. It focuses on simulating dust accumulation due to micrometeorite strike considered in the thermal management scenario. Produced by Kairui Hao
MCVT: Interior Air Environment Model
Просмотров 813 года назад
The habitat internal environment model (HIEM) presentation will explain the modeling of pressure and temperature within the defined habitat space of the MCVT. The pressure distribution utilizes a zonal model approach that treats the air column as a series of fixed-volume finite elements whose mass changes based on changes in the system. The temperature distribution is determined using a similar...

MCVT: Human Model
Просмотров 533 года назад
This presentation describes the model used to capture the impact of human crew members modeled as a moving heat source within the habitat. The human model uses a daily schedule received from the crew and returns an amount of heat in real time corresponding to the activity being performed in each moment. With these disturbances, the interior habitat must then stabilize its temperature and mainta...
