The Shake Table II by Quanser is a versatile, mid-size, open-architecture motion simulator designed for teaching and research in structural dynamics, vibration isolation, feedback control, and earthquake engineering. Ideal for both classroom and laboratory settings, this platform allows users to simulate real-world seismic activity, using pre-programmed earthquake data or custom inputs for a variety of structural and civil engineering applications.
With the Shake Table II, learners can explore fundamental and advanced concepts in structural dynamics, including:
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.
