Abstract

This research develops a virtual instrumentation on earthquake simulation system. The hardware part, an earthquake simulation platform, is constructed and installed with accelerometers. The software part, LabVIEW, is programmed to record, monitor, and display the p-wave data. LabVIEW is a graphical language of which it is easy operated and designed with friendly human machine interface. In the system design, the various earthquake simulations are generated by adjusting the PWM signals of DC GEAR MOTORS. The signals of earthquake are measured by three-axis-accelerometers. The developed system uses MyDAQ as interface between the control computer and simulation platform. MyDAQ is a data acquisition device that provides the function to measure and analyze live signals anytime. This research completed platform and the software design of earthquake simulation system.
