News item with the spinning geo-centrifuge of GROW partner Deltares
This geo-centrifuge reaches fifty times the g-forces as experienced in a rollercoaster and is used for tests in our MIDAS project. In these tests, the loads on monopiles in the North Sea are simulated and performed on scaled test monopiles.
