Preliminary 3DOF Benchmark Study

Thus, the purpose of the benchmark study is presented as threefold: (1) validate independently developed real-time hybrid simulation frameworks at Illinois and Lehigh, (2) refine developed MR damper models, and (3) test semi-active control strategies. Each "trial" contains a difference structural control strategy for the MR damper. Each "repetition" within the trial is for a different damper (MR Damper 2 at Lehigh or MR Damper 3 at Illinois).
