Kazakh scientists are testing a domestic technology to ensure seismic safety
Researchers at Satbayev University have developed an active control vibration platform aimed at improving the seismic resistance of buildings and structures. The project is of particular importance for cities located in high seismic risk zones.
The scientific development is based on the use of parallel manipulators in active seismic protection systems. The proposed technology enables the system to be automatically activated during an earthquake, allowing it to detect emerging vibrations in real time and dynamically compensate for their impact on the structure.
According to the project leader, PhD and Associate Professor Kuanish Abzhaparov, “unlike traditional passive seismic protection methods, this system responds promptly to external forces and provides active stabilization of ground motion.”
As part of the project, an experimental prototype of the vibration platform was developed and has undergone a series of tests. Master’s students of the “Automation and Robotics” educational program, Erzhan Zhumabekuly and Maksat Amangeldy, are actively involved in the research. The results obtained have confirmed the effectiveness of the developed technology and its strong potential for practical application.
The project is currently submitted for grant funding. The next stage involves large-scale testing and the initial implementation of the system in real-world conditions.
