Abstract: A differential equation model for hysteretic systems is analyzed under nonzero mean random excitation. Under certain conditions, a closed form linearization of the equations of motion is possible. Resulting mean and zero ...

Abstract: A simple constructive technique for the development of rate-type hysteresis models for general nonlinear system is presented. The technique is used to develop hysteresis models to incorporate ...

Abstract: A differential equation model to describe pinching, degrading response of hysteretic elements is presented. The model consists of a nonpinching hysteretic element, in series with a “slip‐lock” element. Zero mean response ...
