A pyramidal ISRU lunar habitat design based on topological interlocking of sintered regolith blocks
Lukas Schnelle, Kai-Uwe Schröder, Alice C. Niemeyer +1
In this framing study, we propose a new lunar-habitat design based on topological interlocking of the building blocks. The design combines block geometries that permit interlocking…
An algorithmic approach for computing fundamental domains of crystallographic groups
Reymond Akpanya, Alice C. Niemeyer, Lukas Schnelle
A crystallographic group is a discrete subgroup of the Euclidean group that has a compact fundamental domain. Since such a crystallographic group is infin…
On the impact of geometric variance on the performance of formed parts: A probabilistic approach on the example of airbag pressure bins
Lukas Schnelle, Niklas Fehlemann, Ali O. M. Kilicsoy +6
Scatter in properties resulting from manufacturing is a great challenge in lightweight design, requiring consideration of not only the average mechanical performance but also the v…
Influence of a generative parameter on the mechanical performance of topological interlocking assemblies of a hexagonal block
Lukas Schnelle, Meike Weiß, Reymond Akpanya +2
A topological interlocking assembly is an arrangement of blocks, where all blocks are kinematically constrained by their neighboring blocks and a fixed frame. This concept has been…
Mechanical Comparison of Arrangement Strategies for Topological Interlocking Assemblies
Tom Goertzen, Domen Macek, Lukas Schnelle +4
Topological Interlocking assemblies are arrangements of blocks kinematically constrained by a fixed frame, such that all rigid body motions of each block are constrained only by it…
