Experimental techniques for earthquake response simulation of large-scale structures using advanced distributed hybrid testing

本研究利用分布式混合试验的概念，发展了大型结构地震反应模拟的实验技术。该研究的特点是：(1)使用在线测试，(2)在不同地点同时实施多项物理测试，以及(3)使用不同的程序代码进行多项数值分析。这些特点是通过“使用常规加载系统”、“使用通用计算机代码”、“最大限度地使用封装概念”、“使用标准输入和输出环境进行数据交换”和“应用于一系列实际的大规模试验”来实现的。

This study develops experimental techniques for earthquake response simulation of large-scale structures using the concept of distributed hybrid testing. The study is characterized by (1) use of online testing, (2) implementation of multiple physical tests in different locations simultaneously, and (3) prosecution of multiple numerical analyses using different program codes. These features are realized by "use of conventional loading systems", "use of general purpose computer codes", "maximum use of encapsulation concept", "data exchange using standard input and output environment", and "applications to a series of actual large-scale tests".
