Project description
The execution of contemporary large scale structural tests on an internationally competitive level requires a flexible test setup consisting of at least three hydraulic actuators with fatigue rating, fast closed-loop control by external deformation measurements and a real time control module that enables the concerted active control of all actuators in real time with minimum lag.
