About

This page provides information about the project developed in Labcontrol called "Shaking table with MR-damper." Experiments were carried out in practice in a laboratory testbed, and the data contained in this Github repository were collected in those experiments.

Please check more details about this project in the page detailing the "Shaking table with MR-damper."

maincode.m is a MATLAB(R) script that calls Simulink-Matlab and generates simulation data. The script also generates figures. The figures contain both simulation and real-time data collected in a laboratory testbed.

For more details about the experimental data, as long as the corresponding academic publications, please visit the project page.

Installation

1. Extract the ZIP file (or clone the git repository) in your computer.
2. Add the folders matlab-code/ and data/ to your path in MATLAB/Octave: e.g.
   • using the "Set Path" dialog in MATLAB, or
   • by running the addpath function from your command window or startup script.

Make sure that you are running Matlab 2017a (or a newer version). Older versions may work, but it is uncertain.

Usage

Typical usage of maincode.m consists of running it in your MATLAB. The code generates ten figures.

MATLAB

1. Run maincode.m.
