Scientific Strong Motion Nodes for Diverse Use Cases

Session: Seismic Hazard Analysis for Critical Infrastructure [Poster]

Type: Poster

Date: 4/19/2021

Presentation Time: 03:45 PM Pacific

Description: 

Nanometrics makes turnkey Class-A accelerometer systems for vibration monitoring with low latency telemetry needed for EEW and critical infrastructure. We also support quick deploy systems with Titan Accelerometers coupled with a Pegasus digitizer for rapid response after earthquakes. This technology was designed for very low SWaP (size, weight and power) enabling high density collection of critical strong motion data used as a key input into structural analysis of buildings, structures, and dams both before and after events. These kits can be used for research studies that define regional attenuation properties and site amplification maps. Ground motions studies before events also provide data used in models that are used in early prediction of ground shaking distribution as an input for emergency response. These new instruments packages are supported by a complete ecosystem of software to easily plan, deploy and manage a project including data and metadata automatically generated on site making it simpler to conduct these types of emergency responses and projects. There is also turnkey deploying, monitoring, analysis, engineering and data products available through services that use this same equipment.
