The Quanser Shake Table I-40 is an open architecture, low-maintenance, compact single-axis motion simulator ideal for teaching structural dynamics and control, earthquake engineering and other topics related to civil and geotechnical engineering. Shake Table I-40 can be easily operated through a simple standalone software. Preloaded acceleration profiles of real earthquakes, such as Northridge and El Centro, allow students to study the effects of ground motion on buildings, bridges and various materials. For more advanced control design applications, the Shake Table I-40 can be operated using Simulink® and the Quanser QUARC software.
