PhD, PE • Bruce G. Johnston Professor Structural Engineering @ Lehigh University • Director - Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems (ATLSS) Center • Director - NSF NHERI Lehigh Real-Time Experimental Facility.
This week we had the honor of hosting our valued partners from MTS Systems Corporation at Lehigh University for a tour of the NHERI Lehigh Experimental Facility (NHERI DesignSafe), located within the Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems (ATLSS) Engineering Research Center. The visit focused particularly on the large-scale multi-directional multi-physics real-time hybrid simulation research being conducted here at P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science at Lehigh University, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Lehigh University, Lehigh University. The maintenance and operation of the open access facility is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and is led by James M. Ricles, Claudia Reis, and Richard Sause. During the visit, I had the opportunity to present on behalf of the research team the various areas of expertise within our #RTHS universe, including large-scale multi-physics multi-directional computational and experimental simulation, along with real-time hybrid simulation of civil, coastal, and offshore structures subjected to natural hazards. Some of our NHERI Lehigh research team, including Claudia Reis, Malik Faisal Nissar, Qasim Abu-Kassab, Maryam Rahnemoonfar, Davide Noè Gorini (Università di Trento), Muhannad Suleiman, Safwan Al-Subaihawi (California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo), and Thomas Marullo showcased some of the latest results, sparking an exciting discussion about advancements in real-time hybrid simulation research. Our collaboration with MTS Systems Corporation continues to drive innovation and excellence in our research efforts, and we look forward to many more successful endeavors together.
