earthquake shake table

Shake Table Specifications. The design criteria and main specifications of the shake table system were dictated by consideration of a number of potential research applications involving large or full-scale shake table experiments and a variety of earthquake ground motions. The resulting performance parameters including specifications for

Earthquake shaking table. There are several different experimental techniques that can be used to test the response of structures and soil or rock slopes to verify their seismic performance, one of which is the use of an earthquake shaking table (a shaking table, or simply shake table ). This is a device for shaking scaled slopes, structural

The Earthquake Shaking Table, dedicated in 1972, was the first modern Shaking Table and is still the largest six-degree-of-freedom (6 DOF) Shaking Table in the United States. The Shaking Table is configured to produce three translational components of motion; vertical and two horizontal, plus three rotational components; pitch, roll and yaw

Aug 12, 2014 The table can be coded in LEGO MINDSTORMS. So far, we have developed MINDSTORMS EV3 code for a random earthquake simulator and for one that starts slow and ramps up to top speed. Building the shake table itself is an exercise in using gear trains, translating rotational motion into linear motion, and combining power sources to run the same gears
