Dynamic Testing of Structures Using Shaking Table
Newly constructed uniaxial shaking table allows testing of scaled buildings and bridges under dynamic loadings. Prof. Nakata’s research group is developing innovative structural systems and verifying their concept through shaking table test.

“Composite materials have been designed somewhat by trial and error. Designers have an intuitive sense of how to arrange fibers in a matrix to make the material as strong as possible. At the civil engineering department at JHU, Professor Guest's lab is coming up with computational algorithms for determining exactly where those fibers should be. These algorithms would determine the structure at the microscale to make a material mathematically optimal for a desired performance property, such as stiffness or conductivity.”
