#71: Spinning Big Science: How ERDC’s Centrifuge Helps Predict Infrastructure Failure

Failure is something engineers work every day to prevent, but at ERDC, researchers can study failure before it happens in the real world. Dr. April Bowman, a research civil engineer with ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, joins the Power of ERDC podcast to explain how the Centrifuge Research Complex helps scientists and engineers model large-scale…

Resources: #71: Centrifuge

ERDC’s Centrifuge Research Complex helps scientists and engineers model large-scale infrastructure problems in miniature while recreating real-world stress conditions. Listen to episode 71 to learn more about how the complex allows researchers to test failure mechanisms that would be too dangerous, expensive or impractical to recreate in the field. You can also watch a video…
