Abstract
We developed a hybrid simulation system to be used for structural control analyses and experiments. There are five units in the system which are the seismic motion generator, the structural response analyzer, the control signal generator, the control force generator and digital filters. Part of the units is composed of either of a digital signal processor (DSP) or an actual model of structure and a control device. The system is highly adaptable to all types of experiments in the structural control research field because we can simulate various situations by combining proper units in the system. The application of developed simulator to a structural model with the active mass driver system reveals an efficiency of this system.
