Earthquake simulation is helpful in order for society to experience real seismic waves in safe environment. Cable-driven parallel mechanisms have advantages over conventional serial and parallel mechanisms. Prototype simulator which covers 1 m stroke in each direction has been built. In this paper, conceptual design of an earthquake simulator using cable driven parallel mechanism is presented. Spatial arrangement of cables is investigated in terms of the stability and safety of the simulator by dynamic analysis of the simulator. It was revealed that increasing the vertical angle of the cables with the ground while connecting them
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
