Hybrid testing at Strulab

March 8, 2013

Preparations for a geographically distributed test are underway within EXCHANGE-SSI. The multispan bridge structure is partitioned in sub-structures and a software platform (UI-Simcor) is used to solve the equations of motion and coordinate the test sending displacement commands to the substructures (“modules”).

Pseudo-dynamic distributed tests between UPAT and UNITN

February 14, 2013

Within the SERIES project a distributed hybrid simulation test was conducted between University of Patras (UPAT) and University of Trento (UNITN) on a Split-Mass S-DoF system. The architecture of the implemented experimental framework was based on MatLAB and OpenFRESCO (Open-source Framework for Experimental Setup and Control).
