Exploring Structural Dynamics Through 3D-Printed Models

The 3D-printing Dynamics Design (3D3) Competition intends to train School of Civil Engineering & Environmental Science (CEES) undergraduates at the University of Oklahoma in fundamental concepts related to vibrations, structural dynamics, and earthquake engineering through a semester-long, hands-on competition run in parallel with Introduction to Dynamics for Architectural and Civil Engineers (CEES 3263). Competition participants, or 3D3 Scholars, design, build, and test a bench-scale shake table using 3D-printed components. The designs of these shake tables are published here, along with all the STL files needed for teachers or students elsewhere to fabricate the tables. Also, the data collected during the challenges is published.

3D打印动力学设计（3D-printing Dynamics Design, 3D3）竞赛旨在通过与《建筑与土木工程动力学导论》（CEES 3263）课程同步开展的为期一学期的实操竞赛，对俄克拉荷马大学土木与环境工程学院（School of Civil Engineering & Environmental Science, CEES）的本科生开展振动学、结构动力学及地震工程相关基础概念的实训教学。竞赛参与者（或称3D3学员）需利用3D打印组件设计、制作并测试一台台式振动台。本次竞赛中各参赛队伍的振动台设计方案，以及供其他地区师生制作该振动台所需的全部STL文件均在此公开。此外，竞赛全程采集的实验数据也同步对外发布。
