The table can be coded in LEGO MINDSTORMS. So far, we have developed MINDSTORMS EV3 code for a random earthquake simulator and for one that starts slow and ramps up to top speed. Building the shake table itself is an exercise in using gear trains, translating rotational motion into linear motion, and combining power …

A seismometer is the internal part of the seismograph, which may be a pendulum or a mass mounted on a spring; however, it is often used synonymously with "seismograph". Seismographs are instruments used to record the motion of the ground during an earthquake. They are installed in the ground throughout the world and operated as part …

Engineers test their earthquake-resistant designs using shake tables, special tables that simulate the effects of earthquakes on scaled models. Figure 1 shows two buildings on a shake table. The building on the left is attached directly to the ground, and the one on the right has a base isolation system.
