Laboratory experiments play a critical role in earthquake engineering research for seismic safety evaluation of civil engineering structures. Servo-hydraulic actuators play a vital role to maintain the compatibility on boundaries between the analytical and experimental substructures in a real-time hybrid simulation. Previous study has indicated that actuator delay could significantly affect the accuracy of real-time hybrid simulation involving viscous dampers. Identifying the amount of actuator delay therefore is critical for reliability assessment of experimental results to properly interpret the performance of viscous dampers for seismic hazard mitigation. In this study a frequency domain based approach is applied for real-time hybrid simulation of viscous dampers with the presence of actuator delay. Computational simulations are conducted to assess the accuracy of the approach for estimating the delay when the substructures develop nonlinear behavior for reliability interpretation of real-time hybrid simulation.

A workplace that is a conduit for positive emotions can be important to employees retention and can contribute optimal levels of productivity. Validated tools for examining emotions are primarily subjective and retrospective in nature. Recent advances in technology have led to more novel and passive ways of measuring emotions. Wearable sensors, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), are being explored to assess cognitive and physical burdens objectively and in real-time. Therefore, there exists a need to investigate and validate the use of EEG to examine emotions objectively and in real-time. In this paper, we conducted a scoping review of EEG to measure positive emotions and/or indicators of joy in the workplace. Our review results in 22 articles that employ EEG to study joy in occupational settings. Three major themes identified in the analysis include (1) EEG for symptoms detection and outcomes, (2) Populations studied using EEG, and (3) EEG electrode systems.

Stability presents a critical issue for real-time hybrid simulation. Actuator delay might destabilize the real-time test without proper compensation. Previous research often assumed real-time hybrid simulation as a continuous-time system; however, it is more appropriately treated as a discrete-time system because of application of digital devices and integration algorithms. By using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii theory, this study explores the convoluted effect of integration algorithms and actuator delay on the stability of real-time hybrid simulation. Both theoretical and numerical analysis results demonstrate that (1) the direct integration algorithm is preferably used for real-time hybrid simulation because of its computational efficiency; (2) the stability analysis of real-time hybrid simulation highly depends on actuator delay models, and the actuator model that accounts for time-varying characteristic will lead to more conservative stability; and (3) the integration step is constrained by the algorithm and structural frequencies. Moreover, when the step is small, the stability of the discrete-time system will approach that of the corresponding continuous-time system. The study establishes a bridge between continuous- and discrete-time systems for stability analysis of real-time hybrid simulation.
