Overview of Centrifuge Model Test Development and its Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

The centrifuge model test could achieve the stress state equal to that of the prototype in the ultra-acceleration field formed by the centrifuge machine. Then the similitude theory could be used to obtain the displacement of the prototype and development process of plastic zone, acquiring the mechanism of instability and failure of the full-scale prototype. Based on the review of a large number of literatures and materials on centrifuge technologies. This paper introduced an overview of the development history of centrifuge equipments, techniques and data acquisition, some ignore factors have been pointed out, as well as some key problems which need to be further researched.
