On Mechanics of a High‐G Human Centrifuge

This paper presents the kinematic characteristics of a human centrifuge for pilot training. The focus is placed on the influence of the tangential acceleration on human centrifuge performances. The main planetary motion is expressed with an ordinary first-order nonlinear differential equation, which is solved numerically. (© 2013 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
