摘要

This study developed both analytical and experimental substructures to perform real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) for floating bridge systems subjected to wind and wave loads. The upper structure influenced by wind loads is physically tested using a scaled model in a wind tunnel, while the lower structure subjected to wave loads is modeled analytically. The wind loads are measured with a 6-axis load cell, and the corresponding target displacements are calculated assuming rigid body motion. These real-time responses are computed in MATLAB Simulink and applied to the experimental substructure mounted on a 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) actuating system. The 6-DOF actuating system is controlled using the Speedgoat real-time target machine and the adaptive time series (ATS) compensator. This study proposes a method for experimentally analyzing the dynamic response of the pontoon-bridge pylon system using RTHS.
