ButE
1. Forward Terms are NOT feedback terms!
2. Phase and Gain problems STILL exist for
specimens above and below oil-column
frequency!

Conclusions:
1. Shake tables and specimens can at a minimum be described by spring-
mass dampers
2. Delay (phase) is partly from the shake table and partly from the controller-
actuator-instrument control loop.
3. Delay (phase) can be dealt with up to a point
4. We havent talked about
1. Dealing with specimen resonance
2. Shake table non-linearities
3. External disturbances (Coherence?)
4. Multiple Tables!
5. Multiple Tables with Actuators!
