This lab is a unique facility that is used for shake table testing of structural or non-structural models. It is located in the Engineering Research Complex (ERC). It includes the following:

• Uni-directional horizontal shake table with MTS servo-valve actuator, 10 kips capacity, ±4.5” stroke, 31 in/sec velocity, 50 Hz 4.5 ft x 4.5 ft

• Uni-directional vertical shake table with MTS servo-valve actuator, 3 kips capacity, ±3” stroke, 31 in/sec velocity, 50 Hz, 2 ft x 2 ft

• Clearance height of 12 ft

• Two Spectral Dynamics PUMA Controller software integrated with data acquisition system (10 channels), antialiasing filters, and sampling rate in excess of 2,000 Hz

• State-of-the-art Laser Vibrometer Test Setup, data acquisition system, controller, and all others accessories 

• Two 50HP powerful hydraulic pumps with 22 GPM capacity and manifolds for the hydraulic actuators

• One extra servo-valve MTS dynamic actuator, 10 kips capacity and ±3” stroke, 31 in/sec velocity

• Accelerometers, Load Cells, LVDTs, Potentiometers, and Strain Gauges
