Abstract: A nonparametric identification method for nonlinear hysteretic systems is presented. Making use of the Duhem hysteresis operator, the multivalued relationship of hysteretic restoring force with respect to displacement and ...

Abstract: The present study involves two aspects associated with the steady‐state performance of the versatile Bouc‐Wen hysteretic model. First, influence of the model parameters on steady‐state responses and hysteresis loops of the ...

Abstract: This study considers the periodic forced vibration of nonlinear hysteretic system. Multiharmonic steady‐state responses of a general hysteretic system adopting the Bouc‐Wen differential model, subjected to arbitrary periodic ...

Abstract: The design and construction of miniature prototype of nonimaging planar concentrator, which is capable of producing much more uniform spatial irradiance and reasonably high concentration ratio, ...

Abstract: This study investigated the behavior of a 38-m deep twin circular peanut-shaped cofferdam interconnected with a rectangular section for cut-and-cover tunnel construction using distributed fiber-optic sensors (DFOSs) based ...
