Webshaker: Live internet shake-table experiment for education and research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Internet technologies are employed to allow real-time video monitoring, control, and execution of bench-top shake-table experiments. Structural models of relevance to education in dynamics and earthquake engineering can be tested remotely over the internet on a 24-h, 7-day (24/7) basis. The underlying elements of experiment tele-observation and tele-operation/control are incorporated in a newly developed website http://webshaker.ucsd. edu. 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 13: 99 110, 2005; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com); DOI 10.1002/cae.20034

متن کاملExperiments on Coupled Technique for Adjacent Similar Buildings
Increasing the population, urbanization has led to the rapid construction of buildings. Due to space constraints and an increase in land cost, these buildings are built too close to each other and can cause damage under dynamic actions such as earthquakes. A new technique, known as Structural coupling, has been developed recently, has found very effective in dissipating the dispersive vibration...
متن کاملNber Working Paper Series Is It Live or Is It Internet? Experimental Estimates of the Effects of Online Instruction on Student Learning
This paper presents the first experimental evidence on the effects of live versus internet media of instruction. Students in a large introductory microeconomics course at a major research university were randomly assigned to live lectures versus watching these same lectures in an internet setting, where all other factors (e.g., instruction, supplemental materials) were the same. Counter to the ...
