There is a wealth of knowledge that can be acquired from the lunar surface, such as human habitation in space as well as resource acquisition. To this end, habitations could eventually exist on the Moon. The habitations must be sustainable, so water, hydrogen, and oxygen will be mined. The transportation systems for these substances will likely be pipes, which will be subjected to the harsh conditions on the Moon. On Earth, smart structural health monitoring (SHM) is an applied field of wave-based analysis that creates a virtual ‚Äúskin‚Äù on a structure that senses any damage. For example, one piezoelectric transducer can be attached to a thin-walled structure to assess the damage the material has incurred using guided-wave propagation. This type of structural analysis can accurately localize and categorize damage. Any induced damage to a pipeline via corrosion, impacts, seismic activity, etc, may cause leakage, which constitutes a loss of material. These leaks or other defects can propagate into a catastrophic event. Loss of resources and possible environmental catastrophes are the main impetus for utilizing SHM techniques on Earth. The results of this study can potentially pioneer SHM of lunar architecture. A ruptured pipeline can contaminate the lunar surface, which violates NASA‚Äôs anti-contamination policies. A SHM technique would significantly complement the strategies NASA uses to prevent corrosion during operations. A SHM technique for a lunar base is necessary to gather information about extraterrestrial habitation that will aid NASA‚Äôs efforts in building a base on Mars. Above all, an additional level of security is added with SHM because mission control will have access to real-time data of an unexpected event that compromises the mission and the lives of astronauts.A SHM technique that works on Earth must be adapted for lunar use. High radiation, high heat, launch, and impact stresses contribute noise to a system of sensors. Any external sensing apparatus could be catastrophically damaged. To this end, this project will research the feasibility of a novel SHM technique for lunar pipelines. A literature review was conducted in the first semester. The review focused on information pertaining to the hazards of space and designing tests and sensors that can withstand the above-mentioned conditions. The results of the literature review show that the transportation of water, hydrogen, and oxygen from mined ice can subject lunar pipelines to corrosion and damage. The active strategy NASA uses to combat corrosion in space (such as the corrosion of aluminum by atomic oxygen) is to coat structures in a thin film of a precious substance, such as gold. These films can be delaminated by space debris. Lunar dust is also an abrasive substance that can potentially weaken thin films and lunar architecture.
