고정반복법에 의한 암시적 HHT 시간적분법을 이용하여 3층 3경간 철근콘크리트 골조구조물을 수치해석모형과 물리적 분구조모형으로 나누어 실시간 하이브리드실험을 실시하였다. 물리적 부분구조모형으로는 1층 내부 비연성기둥 1개소가 선택되었고, 수치해석모형에 일축 방향의 지진하중을 시편이 심한 손상에 의하여 파괴에 이를 때까지 작용시켰다. 비선형 유한요소해석 프로그램인 Mercury가 실시간 하이브리드실험을 위하여 새로이 개발 및 적용되었다. 실험결과는 물리적 부분구조모형의 상부 수평방향 층간변위비를 OpenSees에 의한 수치해석시뮬레이션과 진동대실험의 그것과 비교하였다. 본 실험은 가장 복잡한 실시간 하이브리드실험 중의 하나이고, 하드웨어, 알고리즘 그리고 모형에 대한 기술적인 내용을 본 논문에 자세히 설명하였다. 수치해석모형의 개선, 물리적 부분구조 모형 접선강성행렬의 유한요소해석 프로그램에서의 평가 그리고 하중기반 보-요소의 요소상태결정의 연산시간을 줄이기 위한 소프트웨어의 개선이 이루어진다면 실시간 하이브리드실험과 진동대실험결과의 비교는 권장할 만하다. 그리고 "지진과 같은 동적하중하의 복잡한 구조물의 수치해석시뮬레이션"이라는 목적을 위하여 실시간 하이브리드실험은 동적하중에 대한 실험적 검증을 점진적으로 수치해석모형으로 대체하기 위한 저비용-고효율 실험법으로서의 가치를 충분히 가지고 있다고 할 수 있다.

High Damping Rubber bearings (HDR bearings) have been used in the seismic design of bridge structures widely in China. In earthquakes, structural natural periods will be extended, seismic energy will be dissipated by this kind of bearing. Previously, cyclic loading method was used mainly for test studies on mechanical properties of HDR bearings, which cannot simulate real seismic responses. In this paper, Real-Time Substructure (RTS) test study on mechanical properties of HDR bearings was conducted and it was found that the loading rate effect was not negligible. Then the influence of peak acceleration of ground motion was studied. At last test results were compared with a numerical simulation in the OpenSees software framework with the Kikuchi model. It is found that the Kikuchi model can simulate real mechanical properties of HDR bearings in earthquakes accurately.

This paper demonstrates a real-time hybrid substructuring (RTHS) shake table test to evaluate the seismic performance of a base isolated building. Since RTHS involves a feedback loop in the test implementation, the frequency dependent magnitude and inherent time delay of the actuator dynamics can introduce inaccuracy and instability. The paper presents a robust stability and performance analysis method for the RTHS test. The robust stability method involves casting the actuator dynamics as a multiplicative uncertainty and applying the small gain theorem to derive the sufficient conditions for robust stability and performance. The attractive feature of this robust stability and performance analysis method is that it accommodates linearized modeled or measured frequency response functions for both the physical substructure and actuator dynamics. Significant experimental research has been conducted on base isolators and dampers toward developing high fidelity numerical models. Shake table testing, where the building superstructure is tested while the isolation layer is numerically modeled, can allow for a range of isolation strategies to be examined for a single shake table experiment. Further, recent concerns in base isolation for long period, long duration earthquakes necessitate adding damping at the isolation layer, which can allow higher frequency energy to be transmitted into the superstructure and can result in damage to structural and nonstructural components that can be difficult to numerically model and accurately predict. As such, physical testing of the superstructure while numerically modeling the isolation layer may be desired. The RTHS approach has been previously proposed for base isolated buildings, however, to date it has not been conducted on a base isolated structure isolated at the ground level and where the isolation layer itself is numerically simulated. This configuration provides multiple challenges in the RTHS stability associated with higher physical substructure frequencies and a low numerical to physical mass ratio. This paper demonstrates a base isolated RTHS test and the robust stability and performance analysis necessary to ensure the stability and accuracy. The tests consist of a scaled idealized 4-story superstructure building model placed directly onto a shake table and the isolation layer simulated in MATLAB/Simulink using a dSpace real-time controller.

Real-time hybrid testing is an attractive method to evaluate the response of structures under earthquake loads. The method is a variation of the pseudodynamic testing technique in which the experiment is executed in real time, thus allowing investigation of structural systems with time-dependent components. Real-time hybrid testing is challenging because it requires performance of all calculations, application of displacements, and acquisition of measured forces, within a very small increment of time. Furthermore, unless appropriate compensation for time delays and actuator time lag is implemented, stability problems are likely to occur during the experiment. This paper presents an approach for real-time hybrid testing in which time delay/lag compensation is implemented using model-based response prediction. The efficacy of the proposed strategy is verified by conducting substructure real-time hybrid testing of a steel frame under earthquake loads. For the initial set of experiments, a specimen with linear-elastic behavior is used. Experimental results agree well with the analytical solution and show that the proposed approach and testing system are capable of achieving a time-scale expansion factor of one (i.e., real time). Additionally, the proposed method allows accurate testing of structures with larger frequencies than when using conventional time delay compensation methods, thus extending the capabilities of the real-time hybrid testing technique. The method is then used to test a structure with a rate-dependent energy dissipation device, a magnetorheological damper. Results show good agreement with the predicted responses, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method to test rate-dependent components.

하이브리드 실험은 수치해석 모형과 물리적 부분구조 모형사이의 상호작용을 통하여 구조물의 거동을 예측하는 실험법이다. 본 연구에서는 지진하중 재하 시 1경간 2층 강 뼈대 구조물에 대한 다자유도 하이브리드 실험을 수행하고 유효성을 확보하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 전용 하이브리드 수치해석 프로그램인 FEAPH을 개발하였으며, 최적화된 시스템을 구축하였다. FEAPH은 고정 반복법(Fixed iteration)과 병렬화(Parallelization) 기법을 적용하여 순차적 해석에서 발생되는 비효율적 연산을 개선하였다. 또한, 종전에 데이터 통신과 부분구조물과 해석프로그램간의 인터페이스를 간략화하여 하이브리드 시스템 구성을 최적화 하였다. 그 결과, 입력 가진시간(30초) 대비 약 10%의 실험시간이 소요되었다. 시스템의 신뢰성을 검증하고 선형실험과 강 뼈대 구조물의 동적거동을 예측하기 위해 비선형 실험을 수행하였으며 수치해석과의 변위응답이력은 거의 일치 하였다. 그러나 최대변위에 대한 응답은 다소 차이를 보였으며, 이는 재료 비선형성에 대한 해석상의 오차와 영구변형에 의해 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 적절한 재료 비선형 모델과 알고리즘의 개선이 이루어지면, 실시간 하이브리드 시스템은 구조물의 동적거동을 예측하는데 유용하게 활용될 것이며, 추후 진동대 실험을 대체할 수 있는 효과적인 실험 방법이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Recently the authors tried to find damage position only using measured frequency response functions. According to their work, it seems that the algorithm is very practical since it needs only measured frequency responses while other methods require exact analytic model. But when applying the method to a real structure, it requires lots of experiment. The authors, in this time, propose a method to reduce its experimental load by detecting damage within a substructure. This method searches damages not within an entire structure but within substructures. In addition, damage severity was treated in this paper since it is worthy to know damage severity. Optimization technique is used to estimate damage level using measured responses and damage model. Two test examples, a plate and a jointed structure, are chosen to verify the suggesting method.

An experimental real-time hybrid method, which implements the wind response control of a building structure with only a two-way TLMD, is proposed and verified through a shaking table test. The building structure is divided into the upper experimental TLMD and the lower numerical structural part. The shaking table vibrates the TLMD with the response calculated from the numerical substructure, which is subjected to the excitations of the measured interface control force at its top story and an wind-load input at its base. The results show that the conventional method can be replaced by the proposed methodology with a simple installation and accuracy for evaluating the control performance of a TLMD.

Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS), which has the advantages of a substructure pseudo-dynamic test, is widely used to investigate the rate-dependent mechanical response of structures under earthquake excitation. However, time delay in RTHS can cause inaccurate results and experimental instabilities. Thus, this study proposes a model-based adaptive control strategy using a Kalman filter (KF) to minimize the time delay and improve RTHS stability and accuracy. In this method, the adaptive control strategy consists of three parts-a feedforward controller based on the discrete inverse model of a servohydraulic actuator and physical specimen, a parameter estimator using the KF, and a feedback controller. The KF with the feedforward controller can significantly reduce the variable time delay due to its fast convergence and high sensitivity to the error between the desired displacement and the measured one. The feedback control can remedy the residual time delay and minimize the method's dependence on the inverse model, thereby improving the robustness of the proposed control method. The tracking performance and parametric studies are conducted using the benchmark problem in RTHS. The results reveal that better tracking performance can be obtained, and the KF's initial settings have limited influence on the proposed strategy. Virtual RTHSs are conducted with linear and nonlinear physical substructures, respectively, and the results indicate brilliant tracking performance and superb robustness of the proposed method.
