Abstract: “The design of complicated structures for high level performance under accidental actions has been a scientific challenge in the field of civil engineering, with social and economic implications. The method of hybrid simulation lends itself as an efficient tool in unveiling the nonlinear response of structural systems. The present research aims to evaluate the technical aspects of a hybrid simulation (HS) implementation platform, making use of the current knowledge but paving the way to future extensions in multi-physics problems.”

Keywords: hybrid simulation, substructures, control system,
