Article: Modal added-mass matrix of an elongated flexible cylinder immersed in a narrow annular fluid, considering various boundary conditions. New theoretical results and numerical validation

fluid structure interaction sub-field discipline fluid mechanics

This paper considers the fluid–structure interaction problem of two coaxial cylinders separated by a thin layer of fluid. The flexible inner cylinder is imposed a small amplitude harmonic displacement corresponding to a dry vibration mode of an Euler–Bernoulli beam, while the external cylinder is rigid. A new theoretical formulation based on the assumption of a narrow fluid annulus is derived to estimate the modal added-mass matrix of the vibrating cylinder.

Production of Fibres from Lunar Soil: Feasibility, Applicability and Future Perspectives

Submitted by mapc on Fri, 10/07/2022 - 15:25

research

The construction of a lunar base is considered to be an important step towards deep-space exploration by humanity, and will rely on the utilisation of in situ lunar resources. In this paper, we discuss the current knowledge on the feasibility of converting lunar soil to high-performance fibres that can be used for the construction of a lunar base. This fibre would be combined with further portions of lunar soil to generate fibre-reinforced composites, which is utilized as multi-functional materials for lunar base construction.
