Abstract
Parallel manipulators are increasingly used in new applications by exploiting their peculiarities. The specific motion simulation capability of CaPaMan (Cassino parallel manipulator) can be used for an earthquake simulator. In this paper, a study of feasibility of such novel application of a 3-DOF CaPaMan prototype has been presented by looking experimentally not only at point seismograms but even to 3D earthquake motion. Although 3-DOFs do not permit exact repetition of real 3D earthquake motion, the results have been satisfactory since a design earthquake simulation has been determined and tested with the basic earthquake characteristics.
