NEES@Lehigh

Webinar

The Real-time Multi-Directional (RTMD) Earthquake Simulation Facility, an equipment site of the NEES Collaboratory located at Lehigh University, will be hosting an on-line workshop for researchers interested in using the facility for research projects. The RTMD Facility contains a unique system enabling real-time hybrid simulation to investigate the multi-directional seismic response of structural components and systems. The workshop will provide prospective RTMD users with information necessary to develop a research proposal that takes advantage of the capabilities of the RTMD Facility. The registration is free and open to anyone who is interested in using the RTMD Facility.

Workshop sessions will include an overview of RTMD Facility capabilities and laboratory features; hybrid simulation, data acquisition, data modeling, data archiving, and remote participation capabilities; example projects. In addition, the workshop will provide prospective lab users with information to aid in planning, scheduling and budgeting large-scale structural testing research at the RTMD Facility.

When: February 27, 2009 from 1:00 to 3:00pm EST.

Where: WebEx based on-line meeting
