Mitigation of Seismic Risk to Critical Building Contents via Rolling Pendulum Isolation Systems: Multi-Directional Hybrid Shake Table Tests

Participated in a research project that involved multi-directional shake table preparation for future characterization testing of the rolling pendulum floor isolation system to understand its performance. This involved performing kinematics validation of the shake table to develop the actuator control system that will be used in future tests. The results of the future characterization tests will be used in the first multi-directional real-time hybrid simulation test for the rolling pendulum floor isolation system in the Lehigh University ATLSS Engineering Research Center. The efforts done contribute to the earthquake engineering community.
