The main objective of the proposed research is to develop a simulation method in which a physical model of a high-rise building or a bridge deck is tested in a wind tunnel testing facility while some of dynamic properties of the real structure, such as mass and energy dissipation mechanism, are modelled in a computer. The physical and the numerical models interact with each other in real time through feedback from sensors and actuation of linear electric motors. This project is an expansion of an earlier hybrid wind simulation project where the control strategy will be enhanced to include control of two degrees of freedom and to minimize the delay in the actuators' responses. The development of the hybrid wind simulation method is expected to simplify preparation and calibration of physical models required for aeroelastic wind tunnel tests. The research project is aimed at substantially reducing the testing cost, such as machine time and engineering time, required for aeroelastic wind tunnel test. The development will also lead to better understanding on interaction between wind-induced load and dynamic response of an elastic structure. Through the project, HQPs with diverse ethnic background will develop technical skills in various subject areas and will also be trained in equity, diversity, and inclusion.

本研究的主要目标是开发一种模拟方法，在风洞测试设备中测试高层建筑或桥面的物理模型，同时真实结构的一些动态特性，例如质量和能量耗散机制，在计算机中建模。物理模型和数值模型通过传感器的反馈和线性电动机的驱动实时相互作用。该项目是早期混合风模拟项目的扩展，其中控制策略将得到增强，包括两个自由度的控制，并最大限度地减少执行器响应的延迟。混合风模拟方法的开发有望简化气动弹性风洞试验所需物理模型的准备和校准。该研究项目旨在大幅降低气动弹性风洞测试所需的测试成本，例如机器时间和工程时间。这一进展还将有助于更好地理解风致荷载与弹性结构动态响应之间的相互作用。通过该项目，具有不同种族背景的总部人员将发展各个学科领域的技术技能，并接受公平、多样性和包容性方面的培训。
