This experimental program focuses at development, implementation, and validation of a novel control design strategy, based on impedance matching, for executing real-time hybrid simulations Real-time ...

An experimental program using a 6 degree-of-freedom earthquake simulator at the University at Buffalo was executed to generate data for supporting validation of numerical models for seismic ...

Engineers at UC San Diego’s outdoor earthquake simulator are about to finish building a 10-story wooden tower that will undergo fierce shaking to explore how well tall timber structures can handle ...

The building was "dancing" underneath the simulator, scientists said. Researchers have successfully simulated a high magnitude earthquake on the largest building ever tested, and the structure ...

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A shake table underneath a 10-story building simulated earthquakes at 6.7 and 7.7 magnitudes. "That's the tallest specimen ever tested on a shake table so it's a historic test," ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

SCRIPPS RANCH (KGTV): The "shake table" at UC San Diego will soon be able to move just like a real earthquake, thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation. Researchers at UC San Diego ...

Tara Hutchinson, a professor in the UC San Diego Department of Structural Engineering, is the lead researcher on a series of tests on a 10-story, cold-formed steel-framed building at the UC San Diego ...

Simulations still can't predict exactly when an earthquake will happen, but with the incredible processing power of modern exascale supercomputers, they can now predict how they will happen and how ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — While extreme earthquakes are not a concern for Western New Yorkers, researchers are using a local "earthquake simulator" to help areas in the country impacted by these natural ...

SEATTLE — University of Washington researchers are in San Diego conducting earthquake tests with the tallest building ever on a shake table. This project pushes for widespread use of laminated wood in ...
