Abstract:
The shake table is an indispensable testing facility for development of earthquake resistance techniques. A shaking table is a platform exited with servo motor to simulate different types of periodic and random motions, such as artificial earthquakes and other dynamic testing signals of inertia forces.
The displacement and acceleration of the stage are measured by the on-board encoder and the accelerometer sensors. The encoder and accelerometer are connected to the DAQ and their signals, which can be displayed and processed further.
The shake table can be utilized for verification of earthquake resistance buildings, other structures, mechanical components, devices, etc.
