Fall 2021: Effect of Curing Condition on Martian Construction

Affiliations:
Project Leader: Shayan Gholami
shayan.gholami@tamu.edu
Civil Engineering
Faculty Mentor: Yong-Rak Kim, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
TBD
Team Size:
3
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Within this project, there is a great chance to gain experience in design and conduction of high-fidelity experiments, 3d-printing, and development of research papers. Co-authorship on publications will also be considered
Team Needs:
Students with backgrounds in civil, mechanical, and material engineering are welcomed to apply. Students need to dedicate 5 hours per week for two semesters
Description:
Additive manufacturing of Martian soil has a great potential for development of future infrastructure on Mars. Binder-based construction techniques are strongly dependent on curing conditions. This project studies the effect of different curing condition on properties of 3D printed Mars soil simulant. Tasks include background study, experiment design and data analysis
