...Nicolas Pinoteau; Duc Toan Pham; Hong Hai Nguyen; Romain Mège Purpose This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a hybrid fire testing by real-time subdivision of physical and numerical substructures (NSs) on simplified structures as a milestone in the development of the method. Design...

...Ramla Karim Qureshi; Negar Elhami-Khorasani; Thomas Gernay Purpose This paper aims to investigate the need for active boundary conditions during fire testing of structural elements, review existing studies on hybrid fire testing (HFT), a technique that would ensure updating of boundary conditions...

... and control the time properties in hybrid fire testing. Design/methodology/approach The paper approaches hybrid fire testing as a control problem. It establishes the state equation to give the general stability conditions. Then, it shows how P and PI controllers can be incorporated in the system...
