Özet:
A portable, servo motor driven, and single-degree-of freedom earthquake simulator is manufactured. The moving table has a dimension of 40 cm x 40 cm. It can carry a load of 80 kg, accelerated to 2 g (1 g @ 9.81 m/s 2 ). Its maximum displacement capacity is ± 7 cm. In order to obtain the desired motion, a voltage of .10 to +10 volts is applied to the servo unit (motor driver), which is adjusted to move the table at .25 cm/s and 25 cm/s, respectively. A runtime program is written to read an earthquake's velocity-time data and to produce an electrical voltage that takes care of the following two items: First, the maximum speed of the simulated earthquake can not be larger than the motor.s capacity. Second, the maximum earthquake displacement can not be larger than the table.s displacement capacity.In the present work, the recorded strong motion acceleration time series are processed in order to obtain useful data for engineering analysis. Strong motion accelerogram processing (earthquake data processing) is performed in Scilab. The objectives of strong motion data processing are corrections for the response of the strong motion instrument itself, and reduction of random noise in the recorded signals. The processing concentrates on the lowfrequency ranges of the usable signal in the records.The results obtained from comparison of the present work's outputs and some data providers' outputs are satisfactory. Some slight differences exist due to the different integration schemes and due to the application of different filter orders, zero-padding, and different filters for instance, acausal or causal Butterworth filter.The simulations are performed in a regular Linux environment and also in a Realtime Linux environment. The advantage of the realtime environment ensures the signals send to the servo driver to be on-time . no delay due to operating system tasks.
