  4. Learning and Teaching with Tele-operated Instructional Shake TablesPart 1: Introduction & Demonstration Shirley Dyke and Xiuyu Gao Washington University in St. Louis

  5. Introduction • Experiments are especially valuable for learning fundamental concepts • Shake tables are excellent learning tools for earthquake engineering

  6. Goals • To provide opportunities for students worldwide to use tele-operated shake tables for learning • To support faculty interested in utilizing these learning tools with instructional and technical assistance

  7. Additional Opportunities • Any class, any size, anywhere! • Experience with modern laboratory equipment and instrumentation • Exposure to NEES • A mechanism for training students to perform experiments • Opportunities for K-12 outreach

  8. Shake Table Lab Station

  9. Technical Support • Remote experimentation capabilities using existing cyberinfrastructure tools to • Operate the shake table over the internet • View video and streaming data

  10. UCIST PC (NTCP for MATLAB Machine) UCIST Shake Table Remote PC NTCP Client NTCP Server WebDaemon RDV RBNB Data Turbine PC Web Camera Technical Support MATLAB / Simulink / WinCon

  11. Instructional Support • Provide for remote experiments • Lab manuals • Associated learning materials • Scheduling support • Assessment tools • Experiments available now • SDOF earthquake engineering module (freshman) • SDOF exercise in frequency domain analysis (senior) • MDOF exercise to design a vibration absorber (senior) • Facilitating • More versatile learning opportunities • Broadened participation

  12. Instructional Support (Demo) • Exercise: Design of a Vibration Absorber • Two DOF building model • Passive device to reduce responses • Design length of pendulum and additional mass • Verify performance using teleoperation

  13. Instructional Support (Demo)

  14. Live Demonstration Design of a Vibration Absorber
