Designing a habitat for the lunar surface? You will need to know
more than structural engineering. There are the effects of
meteoroids, radiation, and low gravity. Then there are the
psychological and psychosocial aspects of living in close quarters,
in a dangerous environment, far away from home. All these must be
considered when the habitat is sized, materials specified, and
structure designed. This book provides an overview of various
concepts for lunar habitats and structural designs and
characterizes the lunar environment - the technical and the
nontechnical. The designs take into consideration psychological
comfort, structural strength against seismic and thermal activity,
as well as internal pressurization and 1/6 g. Also discussed are
micrometeoroid modeling, risk and redundancy as well as probability
and reliability, with an introduction to analytical tools that can
be useful in modeling uncertainties.
