Curing of Surfaces Formed by Tailored Force Fields
Publication: Earth & Space 2006: Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Challenging Environment
Abstract
The concept of using force fields to collect particles into desired shapes has been applied to the problem of space construction. Various geometries of surfaces are obtainable by tailoring the force field. The force field is achieved by utilizing the radiation pressure present in electromagnetic waves. In this paper we show that the curing of the surface can also be achieved using a secondary field. The frequency of the force field is shown to be different from the frequency of the curing field and is strongly dependent on the material electrical properties. The time taken to heat and cure the surface is calculated and found to be within reason. Future experimental work is proposed to validate the theoretical studies shown here.
