description For Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) to be stable and accurate, it is essential to address the time desynchronization issue between the numerical and physical substructures. Desynchronization is primarily caused by time delays, inherent dynamics of the control plant, system uncertainties, and noises. While existing adaptive compensators have shown effective tracking performance in single-input single-output (SISO) RTHS, their effectiveness in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) RTHS has not been fully demonstrated. MIMO-RTHS presents additional challenges due to its larger solution space, and significant dynamic coupling between actuators. To address these challenges, this study introduces an adaptive compensation framework for MIMO-RTHS. The proposed framework utilizes a control law based on the inverse dynamics of the control plant, incorporating real-time adaptive parameter updates through Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) methods. Both the transfer function (TF) and discrete-time state-space (SS) models of the plant are employed in distinct parameter estimation cases. The performance of the proposed compensation is validated through a multi-axial RTHS (maRTHS) benchmark problem. Extensive simulations on the maRTHS incorporating various earthquake inputs, sensor noise, and model uncertainties, demonstrated an excellent tracking performance and strong robustness across four parameter estimation cases (EKF-TF, UKF-TF, EKF-SS, and UKF-SS). The use of UKF with SS model (UKF-SS) achieved superior performance, effectively managing nonlinearities and noise without requiring low-pass filtering.
