RISA Distributed-Element Model for Hysteresis and Its Steady-State Dynamic Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A model for the hysteretic behavior of materials and structures is presented. This model is based on an approach which views the system as consisting of a series of ideal elastoplastic elements. ...
The Steady-State Response of the Double Bilinear Hysteretic Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The steady-state response of a one-degree-of-freedom double bilinear hysteretic model is investigated and it is shown that this model gives rise to the jump phenomenon which is associated with ...
Steady-State Dynamic Response of a Limited Slip System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The steady-state response of a system constrained by a limited slip joint and excited by a trigonometrically varying external load is discussed. It is shown that the system may possess such ...
Application of an Equivalent Nonlinear System Approach to Dissipative Dynamical Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with a method for generating approximate periodic solutions for dissipative second-order nonlinear systems. The approach presented is based on the definition of an auxiliary ...
Drift Spectrum: Measure of Demand for Earthquake Ground Motions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new measure of the demand of earthquake ground motions on structures is presented. This measure, called the drift spectrum, is particularly useful for near-field earthquake motions that contain distinct pulses. Like the ...
On the Steady-State Response of a One-Dimensional Yielding Continuum
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The steady-state or standing wave response of a bounded one-dimensional yielding continuum is investigated using an approximate analytic technique. Details of the nature of the fundamental and ...
The Vortex Induced Oscillation of Elastic Structural Elements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A technique is presented whereby certain mathematical models for the vortex shedding induced response of a rigid elastically supported cylindrical element can be applied to internally elastic ...
The Steady-State Response of a Two-Degree-of-Freedom Bilinear Hysteretic System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The method of slowly varying parameters is used to obtain an approximate solution for the steady-state response of a two-degree-of-freedom bilinear hysteretic system. The stability of the system ...
On a Class of Models for the Yielding Behavior of Continuous and Composite Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A class of one-dimensional models for the yielding behavior of materials and structures is presented. This class of models leads to stress-strain relations which exhibit a Bauschinger effect of ...
On the Dynamic Response of Continuous Systems Including Model Uncertainty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a technique for obtaining the response of linear continuous systems with parameter uncertainties subjected to deterministic excitation. The parameter uncertainties are modeled ...
