Computer optimisation of a shaking table

Minerals Engineering, 1991
Abstract This paper describes work undertaken, under the 3rd. EC Raw Materials Programme in collaboration with Carnon Consolidated Ltd. (CCL) and Beralt Tin and Wolfram SA (BTW), on the development and application of a mathematical model of a shaking table concentrator.

Ferrocement in a Large Shaking Table

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1986
A critical part of the large-scale earthquake simulation facility at the State University of New York at Buffalo is the shaking table itself. The table is a prestressed composite sandwich structure consisting of a steel frame, a superimposed prestressed-reinforced concrete grid, and ferrocement faces. The ferrocement was found to be particularly useful

Shaking Table Experimental Programme

2012
The graphite components in AGR cores are subject to degradation processes that are predicted to lead to greater numbers of weakened and cracked components. The reactor core models used to assess the tolerability of the cores to seismic events need to represent higher levels of degradation.

A reaction type shaking table

Geophysics, 1939
Abstract A steady state shaking table utilizing the principle of reaction has been constructed for the measurement of the response of seismometers and the over-all response of seismograph apparatus. A mass of 500 pounds is driven at amplitudes of the order of 10 (super -4) inches by a small eccentric mass which is rotated at the ...

Seismic analysis and shake table modeling: using a shake table for building analysis

2015
This Thesis is about the process of rehabilitating a shake table for use in seismic analysis of small-scale models in the School of Architecture. Labview 8.0 Student Edition was used to write the controlling program for the shake table. -- In order to test seismic response of a prototype building, a 7-story reinforced concrete building was modeled in ...

Shaking table testing of geotechnical models

International Journal of Physical Modelling in Geotechnics, 2002
Shaking tables provide one means of obtaining data from physical models of geotechnical systems under simulated earthquake loading. While there may be challenges in ensuring exact scaling of all aspects of a geotechnical system between prototype and model, the large size of the shaking table models does give a good basis for validation of numerical ...

An expert system for shaking table diagnostics

Minerals Engineering, 1989
Abstract An expert system, for fault diagnosis of shaking table operations, is presented. The system is designed as one element of an integrated, computer-based method for plant enhancement, for application in the mineral processing industry. The relationship between expert and conventional software techniques is discussed.

Shaking the Table

Shaking the Table provides perspectives and narratives of practitioners working in, or who have worked in identity centers. Colleges and universities across the country continue to grapple with supporting students in their marginalized identities, including gender, race, ethnicity, sexual identity, ability, socioeconomic status, religious identity, and

On-Line Educational Shake Table Experiments

Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice, 2005
Internet technologies are employed to allow real-time video monitoring, control, and execution of bench-top shake table experiments. Structural models of relevance to education in dynamics and earthquake engineering can be tested remotely over the Internet at any time.
