Abstract
To protect art objects and artifacts from earthquake damage, a new display stand has been developed, and its efficiency has been demonstrated by vibration experiments and numerical simulations. The stand is equipped with a sensor and a deployable guard-frame which is usually folded under the diplay stand. When the sensor detects shaking stronger than 60cm/s/s in acceleration, the frame is triggered to be instantly deployed around the object concerned and prevents it from overturning.
