Simulation of Increased Gravity on Small Scale Laboratory Structures Using a Modulated Magnetic Field

这项调查涉及到建立一个更强大的 重力场作用于实验室模型， 调制磁场 我们的目标是制作一个模型， 行为与实际结构相似， 一个非旋转的实验装置。 该系统将扩展 用校准的动态信号激励模型的能力， 如冲击、谐波激励和复杂的地震运动。 小型模型试验的验证是通过进行 在现有的全尺寸结构上进行实验， 分析预测。 本项目是创意奖资助项目 为工程专业本科生提供的课程。

The investigation involves the creation of stronger gravitational fields to act on laboratory models using a modulated magnetic field. The goal is to produce a model that behaves like the actual structure, and to offer the convenience of a non-revolving experimental setup. The system is to expand the ability to excite models with calibrated dynamic signals such as impact, harmonic excitation and complex earthquake motions. Verification of small model tests is accomplished by conducting an experiment on an existing full-scale structure or by analytical predictions.
