Long-duration human space flights involved by interplanetary journeys or space station missions expose the crews to effects of weightlessness. Such effects, consisting in loss of bone density, skeletal muscle atrophy, cardiovascular deconditioning etc., can raise significant risks on the health of the astronauts and for their capacity to accomplish the missions. Therefore, a large number of studies were dedicated to solutions for creating artificial gravity. The paper studies dynamic effects produced in a tethered...
