Selection of operative centrifuge radius to minimize stress error in calculations
Keyword(s):
In a centrifuge model, the vertical stress distribution is nonlinear because of the variation of the model's "gravity" field with the centrifuge radius from the top to the bottom of the model. Thus in calculating the centrifugal acceleration, and hence the scale of the model, care must be taken to use the definition of centrifuge radius that minimizes the stress error in the model profile. This paper demonstrates that this optimum radius is measured from the centre of rotation to a point 0.59 times the model height from the bottom of the model. Key words: centrifuge, stress, error.
