The overall stability of the system is maintained by gravity, buoyancy and the tension of the anchor cables. Such a structure will be severely damaged when it encounters extreme sea conditions such as earthquakes, wave-current loads, etc. in a complex marine environment. Therefore, it is urgent to find out the hydrodynamic characteristics and responses under the action of loads such as earthquakes, wave-current loads, etc. However, the current theoretical calculation method and finite element software make many assumptions and simplifications, resulting in a large deviation between the calculation results and the actual values, and cannot provide reliable guidance for actual engineering.

The patent with application number CN201410115122.5 discloses an underwater multi-point excitation pseudo-dynamic test system, a plurality of excitation mechanisms are arranged below the suspension tunnel, linear reciprocating motion in three directions is realized through the excitation mechanisms, thereby realizing multi-point seismic excitation; but the water tank bottom plate needs to be processed, the actuation position is fixed and cannot be adjusted, the test model is fixed and cannot be changed, and the collaborative test control method is not involved.

An anchor cable 8 is connected to the suspended tunnel pipe body 7 at one end of the anchor cable 8 through a tension meter and a displacement meter. The other end of the anchor cable 8 is connected to a posture transmission device 6. The posture transmission device 6 can select excitation controllers at different positions to realize experimental research under different anchor cable arrangement forms. The acceleration and swing angle of the suspended tunnel 7 and the tension and displacement of the anchor cable 8 are tested by the hydrodynamic test system 9. The acceleration is measured by the accelerometer 91 installed in the suspended tunnel model 8. The tension is measured by the tension meter 92 at the end of the anchor cable 8.

In addition, the water level meter 9, the wave height meter 96, and the flow velocity meter 97 measure the water depth, the wave height, and the flow velocity parameters, respectively, to cooperatively test the hydrodynamic response.
[0036] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the extension platform 5 and the vibration table 4 are provided with bolt holes and are connected and fastened by bolts 51.
[0037] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the excitation controller 6 is composed of a shell 61, an elastic support 62, an electromagnet 63, an excitation conduction block 64, and an excitation conduction plate 65. The lower end cover of the shell 61 is provided with a thread 611. The lower end cover thread 612 and the widened steel plate 5 are connected and fastened by the bolts 51.
