On-line hybrid test combining with general-purpose finite element software.

A new on-line hybrid test system incorporated with the substructuring technique is developed. In this system, a general-purpose finite element software is employed to obtain the restoring forces of the numerical substructure accurately. The restart option is repeatedly used to accommodate the softwa...
