Education and Research Equipment: A Six Degree of Freedom Shaking Table

9705084 Manzari这是一份设备建议书。乔治华盛顿大学（GW）弗吉尼亚校区结构动力学研究中心需要一个振动台。作为乔治华盛顿大学土木、机械和环境工程系的一个研究机构，该中心具有成为地震工程研究和教育的领先场所的坚实潜力。振动台将用于加强该中心正在进行的实验研究。此外，它将为结构动力学研究中心提供一个独特的机会，在地震工程领域提供广泛的教育和培训计划。振动台还将提供一个可靠和通用的工具，帮助中心将其已经建立的理论研究活动与实验验证和评估相结合。所要求的系统是一个6自由度的振动台，尺寸为2米乘2米，有效载荷为8000磅。乔治华盛顿大学已承诺提供38%的配套资金用于购置振动台，并承诺为场地准备和设备安装提供必要的费用。＊＊＊

9705084 Manzari This is an equipment proposal. A shaking table is requested for the Center for Structural Dynamics Research at the Virginia Campus of The George Washington (GW) University. As one of the research arms of GW's Department of Civil, Mechanical, and Environmental Engineering, the Center has solid potential to emerge as a leading site of earthquake engineering research and education. The shaking table will be used to enhance ongoing experimental research at the Center. In addition, it will provide a unique opportunity for the Center for Structural Dynamics Research to offer extensive educational and training programs in the area of earthquake engineering. The shaking table will also provide a reliable and versatile tool to help the center integrate its already well-established theoretical research activities with experimental validation and evaluation. The requested system is a shaking table with six degrees of freedom measuring 2 meters by 2 meters bearing a payload of 8,000 pounds. The George Washington University has committed 38% in matching funds towards acquisition of the shaking table and is committed to provide the necessary costs for the site preparation and for the equipment installation. ***
