报告简介 (Outline) :
The Multi-axial Full-scale Substructure Testing and Simulation (MUST-SIM) facility at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign is part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) George E. Brown, Jr. Network for
Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). In this facility, full-scale structures or structural subassemblages
may be subjected to complex loading and deformation states at multiple connection points on the structural
specimen, including the connection between the structure and its foundation. The MUST-SIM facility has the
following unique features:
(i) 6-DOF load and position control at multiple points, (ii) multiple dense arrays of non-contact measurement
devices, and (iii) advanced nonlinear analysis, visualization, and data archiving and manipulation capabilities to
enable integrated data exchange and manipulation, hybrid simulation (UI-SimCor), remote control and observation,
and multi-site collaboration within a networked environment. This lecture presents several successful
implementations that illustrate recent advances and innovations at the MUST-SIM facility.
报告人简介 (About the Speaker) :
B.F. Spencer, Jr. received his Ph.D. in theoretical and applied mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign in 1985. He worked on the faculty at the University of Notre Dame for 17 years before returning to the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he currently holds the Nathan M. and Anne M. Newmark
Endowed Chair in Civil Engineering and is the Director of the Newmark Structural Engineering Laboratory. His
research has been primarily in the areas of smart structures, stochastic fatigue, stochastic computational
mechanics, and natural hazard mitigation. He is a Fellow of ASCE, a Foreign Member of the Polish Academy of
Sciences, the North American Editor in Chief of Smart Structures and Systems, and the past president of the
Asia-Pacific Network of Centers for Research in Smart Structures Technology.
