The hybrid testing method for earthquake engineering was developed to evaluate the
seismic performance of civil structural systems. During hybrid testing, part of the structure …

We present a comparison of methods for the analysis of the numerical substructure in a real‐
time hybrid test. A multi‐tasking strategy is described, which satisfies the various control and …

Testing of large-scale specimens and models is currently possible in a few earthquake-
engineering laboratories around the world. However, full-scale laboratory seismic testing of …

This paper presents a unified development and implementation of structural testing methods
of force based substructuring using shake tables, actuators and computational engines for …

This paper presents the substructure testing methodology developed for a state-of-the-art
fast hybrid test system and the testing of a steel zipper frame. The testing technique is based …

Real-time hybrid testing is a method of simulating dynamic structural response by splitting
the system being emulated into one or more physical test specimens of key parts, and a …

An overview of research on the development of the hybrid test method is presented. The
maturity of the hybrid test method is mapped in order to provide context to individual …

This historical note reports on the early days of the development of an experimental method
called “hybrid simulation.” As background, the seeds of this concept, initiated in the early …
