Abstract :
In this paper we have reported results of successful experiences using CaPaMan (Cassino Parallel Manipulator) as an earthquake simulator. The paper describes the experimental set up for a sensored mobile plate so that we have verified the numerical simulations with practical experiments. Reproducing accelerometer diagrams of really happened earthquakes has proved the practical feasibility. Experimental results have been reported in this paper to show the interest for this application of CaPaMan
