Stress, on the Rocks: Thermally Induced Stresses in Rocks and Microstructures on Airless Bodies, Implications for Breakdown
This dissertation investigates the role of thermomechanical processes in the production of regolith on airless body surfaces. Thermally induced breakdown may provide a significant contribution to their surface evolution, by breaking down rocks and degrading craters. In Chapter 1, we use the traditio...
