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 of the episode.
