One aspect of fidelity that is seldom considered or understood is the dynamic cross-coupling that occurs between degrees-of-freedom (DOFs). A table with low cross-coupling has a natural tendency to move in the desired DOF without causing motion in the other DOFs. Cross-coupling is greatly influenced by actuator geometry. Most shake tables fall into one of five categories depending on their actuator configuration. In this paper, these five configurations are analyzed, compared, and ranked from a cross-coupling standpoint. Both for buyers of new shake tables and owners of existing tables, this analysis may promote a deeper understanding of fidelity limitations that arise due to actuator configuration. 000018305 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000018305 653__ $$ashake table; degree-of-freedom; cross-coupling; MDOF dynamic systems; servo-hydraulic actuator 000018305 7112_ $$a16th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering$$cSantiago (CL)$$d2017-01-09 / 2017-01-13$$gWCEE16 000018305 720__ $$aThoen, Bradford 000018305 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000018305 8564_ $$s396327$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/18305/files/12.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on USB, paper 12. 000018305 962__ $$r16048 000018305 980__ $$aPAPER
