Improved Adaptive Inverse Compensation Technique for Real-Time Hybrid Simulation

AbstractReal-time hybrid simulation provides an economical and efficient experimental technique for performance evaluation of structures under earthquakes. A successful real-time hybrid simulation requires accurate actuator control in order to achieve reliable experimental results. The time delay as a result of servohydraulic dynamics, if not compensated for properly, would lead to inaccurate or even unstable simulation results. However, the nonlinearities in servohydraulic systems and experimental substructures make the actuator delay difficult to accurately estimate in practice. Therefore, actuator control presents a challenge for the application of the real-time hybrid simulation technique to earthquake engineering research. This paper presents an improved adaptive inverse compensation technique for real-time hybrid simulation. Two adaptive control laws based on a synchronization subspace plot are introduced to adjust the compensation parameters in order to minimize both phase and amplitude errors in t...
