The dynamic response of a seismically isolated structure depends on the combined characteristics of the ground motion, bearings, and superstructure. Therefore, dynamic fu [...]

Over the last decade, the popularity of the hybrid simulation testing method has significantly increased and the testing method has been extensively adopted by the resear [...]

Over the last decade, the introduction of high performance response modification devices to improve structural behavior of components and/or systems under extreme loading [...]

This paper is an attempt to address solutions to two common problems associated with nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA). The first is the convergence problems tha [...]

Among experimental testing methods the shaking table testing method is one of the most realistic techniques to study the seismic behavior of structural systems or compone [...]

Hybrid simulation provides a versatile, realistic and cost-effective method for simulating dynamic response experimentally. Although hybrid simulation is undergoing wides [...]

This paper describes the continuing evolution of the Open-source Framework for Experimental Setup and Control (OpenFresco), an object oriented, environment independent so [...]

The ability to model structural collapse is essential for improving our understanding of the performance of structures during very rare earthquake events. However, experi [...]
