Hydraulic-actuator delay during simulation can lead toinaccurate and unreliable test results. Adaptive compensation of actuator delay is complex for aMDOF structure due to multiple mode participation. Modal analysis allows researchers toconvert MDOF structures into equivalent SDOF structures in order to simplify the reliabilityassessment analysis of time-delay MDOF structures in RTHS testing.
