The National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) unveiled its cutting-edge multi-axis testing system (MATS) on September 14, 2009. This electro-hydraulic servo-control testing facility - controlled vibrations in all six degrees of freedom at the same time - is the latest tool developed by the NCREE staff and partners to simulate real-time earthquake motion. It renders both earthquake engineers and civil engineers with the most realistic duplication of the vibration environment, resulting in the ability to reproduce field observations ex-situ for testing seismic isolation and energy dissipation of structural control dampers and sub-assemblages. The MATS shall aid earthquake disaster prevention as well as ensure safety in bridges and buildings, and will reduce the related R&D cost. During the inauguration event, the dignitaries from the NARL, the NCREE, the National Taiwan University, and Ruentex Group undraped the veil, and the NCREE acknowledged Ruentex Group, MTS Systems Corporation, and two individuals for their assistance in the design and construction of the MATS.
