Title: Real-Time Hybrid Simulation Test-Bed for Structural Systems with Smart Dampers (NEES-2010-0973)
Year Of Curation: 2012
Description: Real-time hybrid simulation is an efficient test method for investigating the dynamic behavior of complex structures. It combines physical testing and numerical simulation to enable the entire structural system to be included in the simulation. Hybrid simulation divides a structural system into analytical and experimental substructures. Compared to shaking table tests, this arrangement of the experimental and analytical substructures in a real-time hybrid simulation is economical, while the reliability of the simulation results is preserved when the analytical model of the structure used for the analytical substructure is accurate.
