1.21.3.3 Mare Basalt Trace-element and Isotopic Trends. Mare basalts, being young by lunar standards, are, as a rule, far less battered by impact processes than highland rocks; they are also generally closer in composition to their parent melts (i.e., the proportion of cumulates is far higher among highland rocks).

Rock mass strength is defined by three parameters including unconfined compressive strength of intact basalt and two others related to the degree of fracturing of the material. Experimental results for elevated temperature extend the applicability of these parameters to the near-surface environment of Venus.

The Unconfined Compression Test is a laboratory test used to derive the Unconfirmed Compressive Strength (UCS) of a rock specimen. Unconfirmed Compressive Strength (UCS) stands for the maximum axial compressive stress that a specimen can bear under zero confining stress. Due to the fact that stress is applied along the longitudinal axis, the ...

Similarly, we also find that the dynamic modulus ...

The above research mainly uses test methods to explore the compressive strength of basalt, but the test methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the instrument materials are expensive.
