S22  Mecatrônica    Titulo: SEISMIC MOTION SIMULATION BASED ON CASSINO PARALLEL MANIPULATOR   Resumo : ABSTRACT. IN THIS PAPER WE PRESENT A STUDY OF FEASIBILITY BY USING CASSINO PARALLEL MANIPULATOR (CAPAMAN) AS AN EARTHQUAKE SIMULATOR. WE PROPOSE A SUITABLE FORMULATION TO SIMULATE THE FREQUENCY, AMPLITUDE AND ACCELERATION MAGNITUDE OF SEISMIC MOTION BY MEANS OF THE MOVABLE PLATFORM MOTION BY GIVING A SUITABLE INPUT MOTION. IN THIS PAPER WE HAVE REPORTED NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS THAT SIMULATE THE THREE PRINCIPAL EARTHQUAKE TYPES FOR A SEISMIC MOTION: ONE AT THE EPICENTER (HAVING A VERTICAL MOTION), ANOTHER FAR FROM THE EPICENTER (WITH THE MOTION ON A HORIZONTAL PLANE), AND A COMBINED GENERAL MOTION (WITH A VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL MOTION). KEYWORDS: PARALLEL MANIPULATOR, EARTHQUAKE, EARTHQUAKE SIMULATION, SEISMIC MOTION.     Autores : CARVALHO, JOAO CARLOS MENDES CECCARELLI, MARCO 0     Trabalho Completo :   COBEM99 | Comissão  Organizadora | Palestras | Sessões Técnicas | Autor | Simpósios e Sessões Especiais | Revisores |  Título  dos  Trabalhos | Local
