Vibration Testing Laboratory

Experiments performed at the Vibration Testing Laboratory are contributing to an earthquake-proof, high-tech society.
The Hyogo-ken Nanbu Earthquake wrought devastating damage not just to buildings and structures in the earthquake-stricken area, but to facilities and equipment as well. In our advanced information society, the role of information and telecommunications technology continues to grow increasingly important. As such, protecting facilities and equipment from earthquake damage represents an extremely important issue in our society.
