Abstract

Real-Time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a kind of simulation in which an experiment part of a structure tested within the real-time simulation of its other parts. In this article, a building with multi-story structure divided into numerical and experimental substructures and the vibration behavior of experiment story studied among the numerical simulation of other stories. To apply the effect of static and inertial forces produced by the other stories to the experimental story, an electrohydraulic actuator is used. The dynamic of the electrohydraulic actuator can be estimated by pure time-delay and this delay in the loop of simulation can reduce accuracy and cause the system instability. Therefore, Delayed Differential Equation (DDE) used to determine the critical time-delay depending on the system parameters. The results of simulation show the effect of non-dimensional parameters and time-delay in stability margin of hybrid simulation.
