To test their designs, engineers develop machines to re-enact (or simulate) the ground movement of seismic waves. To do this, engineers design shake tables that accurately reproduce the motions of the Earth caused by seismic waves. All this is done to provide people living in earthquake-prone areas with stable and survivable human-built ...
به خواندن ادامه دهیدA shake table is a device used to simulate the effects of earthquakes or vibrations on structures and objects. It consists of a platform that can move horizontally and vertically, replicating the motion experienced during an earthquake. Shake tables are commonly used in various fields, including engineering, architecture, and seismology, to ...
