Abstract

The National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED) is now conducting for constructing a three-dimensional full-scale earthquake testing facility (E-Defense).This facility has 24 actuators to supply enough power to the shaking table, and will be equipped basic controller that is designed by Three Variable Control (TVC) Technique. However, since the table was designed lighter than the capacity of max weight of a test model on the shaking table, it is supposed to have not a little interaction between the shaking table and the test model. Therefore, to equip a more highly developed controller, we should understand well on the property of the coupled system that consists of E-defense with TVC and the test model on the shaking table. This study first derives the analytical model of above coupled system, then show some simulation results of the coupled system.
