SUMMARY

Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES). Our mission is to provide the means, both in terms of algorithms and hardware, to conduct geographically distributed hybrid simulation: a simulation that integrates physical and computer models of sub-structures to determine its response to an earthquake. The structural laboratory facilities, local area network, telepresence facilities and the hybrid simulation algorithms developed for the nees@berkeley Equipment Site are presented in this paper. More information about our facility is available a
