The invention discloses a physical
simulation experiment device and method for
lithosphere tectonic deformation. The experiment device comprises a drum type
centrifuge sealed cabin, a drum type
centrifuge driving power cabin, a tectono deformation device
control system and a
motion control system, wherein hanging baskets are hung at the two ends of a
cantilever of a
centrifuge, tectono deformation experiment boxes are placed in the hanging baskets, and a tectono
deformation control system accurately controls deformation of experiment materials in the experiment boxes and can simulate tectono deformation processes of various
lithosphere scales; and the experiment device further comprises a real-time monitoring camera and a high-speed
image acquisition device. According to the invention, when the centrifuge operates, the
centrifugal force at the bottom of the
hanging basket can reach 2500g, so that a
lithosphere tectono deformation physical
simulation experiment in a
supergravity environment is realized; loose
quartz sand can be used as an experiment material, so that the
simulation experiment is more convenient; the experiment device is low in manufacturing cost, large in experimental space, high in
bearing capacity, high in experimental
material deformation control precision and capable of continuously
monitoring data and recording
tectonic deformation images in real time.
