- Abstract
Real‐time hybrid simulation (RTHS) provides an effective and efficient experimental technique to enable large‐ or full‐scale experiments to account for rate‐dependent behavior in size limited laboratories. Traditional practice of RTHS assumes deterministic substructure properties therefore could not account for structural uncertainties in global response prediction. This study explores the use of Co‐Kriging metamodeling for global response prediction under the presence of structural uncertainties. RTHS in laboratory is used as high‐fidelity (HF) modeling while computational simulation of the prototype structure under investigation is used as low‐fidelity (LF) modeling. Multifidelity modeling is integrated through Co‐Kriging to render accurate response prediction over the entire sample space of structural uncertainties. An entropy‐based adaptive strategy is used to sequentially determine the sampling points for HF RTHS and LF simulation. The proposed multifidelity Co‐Kriging approach is experimentally evaluated through RTHS of a single‐degree‐of‐freedom structure with a self‐centering viscous damper. The Co‐Kriging predicted maximum structural responses are further compared with validation tests. It is demonstrated that the Co‐Kriging can effectively reduce the number of RTHS tests in laboratory and significantly improve the metamodel accuracy for global prediction of structural response under uncertainties. The presented study presents an innovative way to further expand the capacity of RTHS for uncertainty quantification toward seismic hazard mitigation.
