A friction device and its application method for simulating a
hybrid field of microgravity,
radiation, and temperature on an extraterrestrial body can meet the demand for simulating material damage under extreme conditions in the cosmic environment (
high radiation,
extreme temperature, and extreme gravity). This invention uses high-permeability magnetic materials, a
vacuum pump, and a gamma
radiation source to simulate the cosmic environment. Traditional "stretching suspension" methods are designed for medium or large
spacecraft and robotic arms, but cannot balance the
partial gravity on
small particles by stretching and suspending them. This device overcomes the gravity of small molecular particles by constructing Maxwell coil pairs to achieve a gradient
magnetic field, improving the reliability of the simulated environment. Simultaneously, this invention can simulate the extremely cold or hot climate conditions, vacuum conditions, and high-energy gamma-
ray radiation conditions of the lunar surface. Furthermore, it can be used to conduct wear tests on high-performance
aerospace materials under
hypergravity or
weightlessness conditions caused by Martian dust and interstellar dust.
