Using a Pendulum to teach experiment design and error analysis
An experiment based on the use of a simple pendulum to measure the local acceleration due to gravity can be used to teach experimental design to advanced physics students. This involves the estimation of uncertainties in measurement and in the values of quantities derived from them. The pendulum is ideal for this purpose because the basic physics is apparently so well understood, but just below...
متن کاملDesign Principles of Seismic Isolation
In earthquake resistance design of structures, two general concepts have been used. The first is to increase the capacity of the structures to resist the earthquake load effects (mostly horizontal forces) or to increase the dynamic stiffness such as the seismic energy dissipation ability by adding damping systems (both devices and/or structural fuses). The second concept includes seismic isolat...
متن کاملExternal seismic pre-isolation retrofit design
This technical note outlines the design of an external seismic pre-isolation system proposed for use in LIGO Livingston. The goal is to reduce the effects of the site’s excess ground noise in the 1 3 Hz frequency band, allowing detector noise performance equivalent to that of the 4 km LIGO Hanford detector. The center histogram in Figure 8 shows the most troubling aspect of the excess noise qui...
متن کاملSeismic shear waves as Foucault pendulum
Earth’s rotation causes splitting of normal modes. Wave fronts and rays are, however, not affected by Earth’s rotation, as we show theoretically and with observations made with USArray. We derive that the Coriolis force causes a small transverse component for P waves and a small longitudinal component for S waves. More importantly, Earth’s rotation leads to a slow rotation of the transverse pol...
متن کاملSeismic Rehabilitation of Liquid Storage Tanks using Friction Pendulum Base Isolation subjected to the Near-Fault Ground Motions
Cylindrical liquid storage tanks are considered as vital structures in industrial complex whose nonlinear dynamic behavior is of crucial importance. Some of these structures around the world have demonstrated poor seismic behavior over the last decades. There are several methods and techniques for rehabilitation and reducing damages in these structures which among them passive control devices, ...
