Abstract

A hybrid experimental system is one of the powerful tools to perform various seismic tests for unknown and/or huge structures, where an actuator-excited experimental vibratory system and a computational response analysis are simultaneously combined and implemented. This paper presents a control methodology for high-performance hybrid experimental systems. A 2-DOF control framework is applied from the viewpoint of control techniques, where a feedback compensator is designed according to the system stabilization analysis, and a feedforward (FF) compensator is designed to achieve the desired servo characteristics. In the FF compensator design, an iterative learning control approach is particularly adopted to eliminate the response delays in the hydraulic actuator. The proposed compensation algorithm has been verified using a laboratory hybrid experimental set up with two-mass structure as a load mechanism.
