This video is a short clip of the single axis vibration table that enables researchers to study whole-body vibration. The table can produce vibrations from computer generated data, either random or specific, in various waveforms from frequencies between 1 - 15 HZ, accelerations in excess of 10G's, and a maximum travel of 6 in. It can also reproduce vibrations recorded from field tests, making it useful for simulating road vibrations.
