Title: Development of 1D and 2D Portable Shaking Table Test System as Educational Materials
Abstract: The intuitive understandings of vibration helps to foster the motivation to learn such the subjects as earthquake disaster prevention, vibration and earthquake resistance in the department of civil engineering and the architecture. This paper introduces a portable shaking experiment device which is developed as a teaching material to support the intuitive understandings of structural vibrations. The shaking table is composed of a PC, a commercially available motion controller and actuators. Placing the two actuators in a right angle direction, a two-axis shaking table can be also realized. The proposed system supports not only the intuitive understandings of vibration but also helps the explanation of the relations between vibration of structure models and equations. The recorded data of vibrations can be available for exercises such as the estimation of the natural period and the damping constant of structure models and the calculation of model responses excited by the shaking table.
