Research on Real-Time Hybrid Testing Method by Using Numerical Simulation

Real-time hybrid test is a novel dynamic testing method involving the combination of shaking table test, pseudo-dynamic test as well as sub-structure test technique. The concept of this newly developed test method is introduced in this paper. Flowchart for force control and displacement control is both demonstrated. A numerical simulation platform for real-time hybrid test is developed and the feasibility of proposed test method is verified by case study.
