Abstract: Actuator tracking and compensation are important in the general field of experimental structural dynamics to effectively conduct vibration testing. Real-time hybrid substructuring (RTHS) is a method of vibration testing ...

Abstract: Hybrid simulation is a tool for investigating the dynamic response of a structural prototype subjected to realistic loading. Hybrid simulation is conducted using a hybrid model that combines physical and numerical substructures ...

Abstract: Magneto-rheological (MR) fluid dampers have been identified as a particularly promising type of semiactive control device for hazard mitigation in civil engineering structures. Large-scale experimental testing is important ...

Abstract: Bridges play a significant role in postevent recovery and disaster resiliency of communities. Recent megadisasters, such as the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, have prompted the technical community to understand the ...
