A method for estimating specimen tangent stiffness for hybrid simulation.

Researchers have long recognized the importance and potential benefits of utilizing the tangent stiffness matrix of a test specimen in hybrid simulations employing implicit and mixed-integration schemes. However, the computation of the tangent stiffness matrix during testing has proved to be challen...
