Fly-by-Pi: Open source closed-loop control for geotechnical centrifuge testing applications [PDF]
HardwareX, 2020 Geotechnical centrifuges are valuable instruments for physical modelling of complex geotechnical problems in a controlled laboratory setting. In comparison to full-scale testing, scaled models are cost effective to construct and instrument and, when ...

Gas production behaviour of gas hydrate–bearing clayey-sand during depressurization: novel in-flight centrifuge modelling [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Gas hydrate-bearing sediments (GHBS) are vastly distributed around the globe. While gas production attempts are made through GHBS, long-term production remains a challenge due to complex inter-related mechanisms involved. Better understating of long-term

Construction and operation of geotechnical centrifuge laboratories
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023 More geotechnical centrifuge laboratories have been set up year by year in China with the development of modeling technology. However, some laboratories are found very inconvenient for model tests and operation due to the unexperienced planning and ...

Upgradation of NHRI-400 g·t geotechnical centrifuge
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020 In Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute (NHRI), the NHRI-400 g·t centrifuge has been operated for more than twenty years since established and put in use in 1991. It is one of the oldest machines in China.

A device for rainfall simulation in geotechnical centrifuges [PDF]
Acta Geotechnica, 2021 AbstractRainfall-induced slope instabilities are ubiquitous in nature, but simulation of this type of hazards with centrifuge modelling still poses difficulties. In this paper, we introduce a rainfall device for initiating slope failure in a medium-sized centrifuge. This rainfall system is simple, robust and affordable.

Recent centrifuge modelling of offshore geotechnical problems at IWHR [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Centrifuge modelling has been proven to be an efficient and reliable approach for examining offshore geotechnical problems. This study reports the two series of centrifuge tests to understand the behaviour of spudcan penetration in a “soft-stiff-soft ...

Scaling principles of debris flow modeling using geotechnical centrifuge
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019 The scale effect of debris flow hinders the in-depth understanding of debris flow dynamics. The geotechnical centrifuge can replicate the appropriate stress states of the prototype through an equivalent elevated centrifugal acceleration field.
