Patent attributes
A vibration test system for structures comprises a vibration exciter that vibrates a real model portion, a load meter that measures a load, and a computer that receives a numerical model representing a numerical model portion. The computer includes a block that calculates a displacement, which is made in a predetermined time after completion of measurement, according to a load value and an external force value. A signal production block produces a command signal using as a target value the displacement calculated by the displacement calculation block. A step control block controls the displacement calculation block and signal production block so that they will act cyclically. The displacement calculation block uses an αOS method to time integrate a solution of a vibrational equation.
