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…

Interlocking of convex polyhedra: towards a geometric theory of fragmented solids
A. J. Kanel-Belov, A. V. Dyskin, Y. Estrin +2
We present structures comprised of identical convex polyhedra which are interlocked geometrically. These sets cannot be disassembled by removing individual polyhedra by translation…
