- Synopsis
- The present paper deals with current status of development of as advanced substructure hybrid test system that includes nonlinear finite element method as a numerical analysis part and visualization function. Some unique features and the validity of the test system performance using PC-based simulator are discussed. In addition, a brief explanation of electro hydraulic actuators is presented.
