Remote collaborative pseudo-dynamic testing system based on acquisition board control

In this paper, NetSLab network platform for remote collaborative pseudo-dynamic testing, which was developed recently by a research group led by the Hunan University, is presented. Aiming at MTS system which is widely used in structural testing, the control method with acquisition board was investigated in this study to realize the communication interface between NetSLab and MTS system, and open up the remote collaborative pseudo-dynamic testing system. Using the developed testing system, a collaborative pseudo-dynamic testing on LAN was carried out successfully. The result manifests that the data transmission and collaborative control can be implemented accurately between NetSLab and MTS system, so that the usability of the testing system is validated.
