Design of a Low-Cost Servo-Actuated Shaking Table for Simulating Ground Motions with Strong Vertical Component

摘要

This article proposes a new set of configurationsfor the construction of a low cost servo-actuatedshake table with a wide range simulation ability, especially regarding ground motions with strong vertical components up to 3.86g and 1.62m acceleration and stroke respectively. Designing decision and challenges faced during the process are also presented.
