description Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) is a versatile testing technique for performance evaluation of structures subjected to dynamic excitations. Research revealed that compensation for the delay induced by the dynamics of the loading system and other factors is a critical issue for obtaining reliable test results. Lately, a two-stage adaptive delay compensation (TADC) method was conceived and performed on the benchmark problem of RTHS. For this method, the main part of the system delay is coarsely compensated by the classic polynomial extrapolation (PE) method; the second stage represents a fine remedy for the remaining delay with adaptive compensation based on a discrete model of the loading system. As an extension of this study, this paper aims to further verify and reveal the performance of this method through real tests on a viscous damper specimen. In particular, loading tests with a swept signal and RTHS with sinusoidal and seismic excitations were carried out. Investigations show that the TADC method is endowed with smaller parameter variation ranges, simple yet effective initialization or a soft-start process, less dependence on initial parameter estimation accuracy, and best compensation performance.
