Hydraulic Power Accumulator System for Multidisciplinary Dynamic Testing

该方案所要求的液压蓄能器（HPA）系统是麦克马斯特大学迫切需要改进的动态测试设备。这包括独特的结构控制测试装置（SCTA），它可以配置为双向振动台或多自由度动态摆测试系统。所要求的HPA将由土木工程系、工程物理系和机械工程系的教员使用，将大大提高麦克马斯特大学的动态测试设施。通过要求的HPA促进了多学科测试能力的提高，对于建筑物地震反应评估、基础隔离、非结构和功能部件地震性能、核安全评估和混合动力汽车系统性能鉴定等领域的进步至关重要。

The Hydraulic Pressure Accumulator (HPA) system requested in this proposal is urgently needed to improve the dynamic test facilities at McMaster University. This includes the unique Structural Control Test Apparatus (SCTA), which can be configured to operate as either a bidirectional shake table or a multi-degree of freedom dynamic pendulum test system. The requested HPA, which will be utilized by faculty in the departments of Civil Engineering, Engineering Physics and Mechanical Engineering, will significantly enhance the dynamic test facilities at McMaster University. Improved multidisciplinary testing capabilities, facilitated through the requested HPA, are essential to advancements in the areas of seismic response evaluation of buildings, base isolation, non-structural and functional component seismic performance, nuclear safety assessment and hybrid automotive systems performance qualification.
