Civil Hybrid Simulation is a structural testing technique that combines physical testing and computer modeling, offering a more efficient and affordable way to examine how structural systems respond to realistic dynamic or seismic loading. Rather than test a complete structure on a large-scale physical test rig, hybrid simulation instead suggests modeling the complete structure while physically testing only a portion.
PhD-level MTS System Integration Engineers provide expert guidance and training
MTS has expert applications expertise and is well connected with top hybrid simulation developers such as University of California at Berkeley
MTS has commissioned quasi-static and real-time hybrid simulation systems at over 100 sites worldwide
Hybrid Simulation is a cost-effective method for testing large scale civil structures
Used to evaluate substructure or components that predominately contribute stiffness and strength to the complete structure
Computer Simulation is performed at an artificially slow rate to allow for a more detailed study of a structure and to accommodate the limited capacity of most civil engineering laboratories
