Learning Outcomes

With the Shake Table II, learners can explore fundamental and advanced concepts in structural dynamics, including:

  • Earthquake engineering and its effects on buildings and materials
  • Structural control systems and vibration isolation
  • Feedback control in dynamic systems
  • Practical applications of structural dynamics theory

Shake Table II Details

The Shake Table II features a robust ball-screw mechanism and high-resolution encoder for precise positioning and smooth operation. Capable of simulating seismic activity through sine waves, chirp signals, and real earthquake profiles, it supports safe, reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Users can scale and replay earthquakes, such as Northridge, Kobe, and El-Centro, or download additional data from the PEER Ground Motion Database for a comprehensive testing experience.
