  20. Communition speed between different sites

  21. NetSLab-Bridge (SDOF) ControlCtr Virtual tester

  22. NetSLab-Bridge (MODF) • Only the longitudinal response of the bridge structure is considered. • Axial deformations of the bridge piers are assumed negligible. • Nonlinear shearing connections are assumed between the column-deck interfaces. The bridge decks are simplified as infinite rigid bars.

  23. NetSLab-Pile A program was developed at USC for hybrid test of 2-DOF structural system. The tester module can connect to Compumotor 6270 motion control box for the Parker actuators.

  24. NetSLab-Building (MDOF) A program was developed for remote hybrid testing of MDOF systems. The tester module can connect to MTS servo hydraulic system and Popwil actuators.

  25. 3. Hybrid Tests of Structures with NetSLab MTS Popwil Structural Lab of Hunan Univ.

  33. 4. Conclusions • Networked structural laboratory (NetSLab) for seismic simulation of bridge and building structures has been developed. • Hybrid tests of structures have been carried out within different network environments. • Further development for hybrid tests of complex structure is to be considered. • How to choose the tested part and simulated part of a structure when the nonlinearity is distributed all over the whole structure ? • On-line updating of numerical model based on measured experimental behavior may be a choice.
