Abstract: The goal of this paper is to study the steady-state dynamic response of an oscillator involving a hysteretic component and exposed to harmonic excitation. This is accomplished by using the ...

Abstract: The well-known modal superposition method for the evaluation of seismic response by the complete quadratic modal combination rule (CQC) is revisited. The most widely used version of the CQC rule utilizes correlation ...

Abstract: The sustained progress in the study of the hysteretic behavior of structural and mechanical systems has led to the adoption of increasingly sophisticated and reliable mathematical representations. Models based on the ...
