| Firstly, the paper introduced the development history and current status of four types of centrifuges for scientific tests in China, including Duty Experiment Centrifuge, Geotechnical Centrifuge, Human Centrifuge and Precise Centrifuge. Secondly, according to the developers of centrifuges, the review introduced in details the current status of centrifuges for scientific tests used in different countries all over the world using examples. At last, the development trends of centrifuges for scientific tests were analyzed, and five development directions were proposed, including centrifuge for ocean engineering, gigantic geotechnical centrifuge, flight simulator of high exactness, centrifuge for composite environment examination and centrifuge of high precision. |
