Parallel manipulators are increasingly used in new applications by exploiting their better characteristics with respect to those of serial manipulators, such as higher stiffness, velocity and acceleration, payload. In this paper, experimental results are presented of a novel application of a 3-DOF CaPaMan (Cassino Parallel Manipulator) prototype to simulate point seismograms and 3D earthquake motion. The rigid body acceleration (linear acceleration, angular velocity and acceleration) has been experimentally analyzed to simulate real 3D earthquakes by using the parallel manipulator. Furthermore, first experimental results are reported to analyze earthquake effects on scaled civil structures.

Ultra high voltage STEM has many inherent technical advantages over CTEM. These advantages include better signal detectability and signal processing capability. It is hoped that it will explore some new applications which were previously not possible. Conventional STEM (including CTEM with STEM attachment), however, has been unable to provide these inherent advantages due to insufficient performance and engineering problems. Recently we have developed a new 1250 kV STEM and completed installation at Nagoya University in Japan. It has been designed to break through conventional engineering limitations and bring about theoretical advantage in practical applications.In the design of this instrument, we exercised maximum care in providing a stable electron probe. A high voltage generator and an accelerator are housed in two separate pressure vessels and they are connected with a high voltage resistor cable.(Fig. 1) This design minimized induction generated from the high voltage generator, which is a high frequency Cockcroft-Walton type, being transmitted to the electron probe.
