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 time history-dependent postyield restorting forces, and general pinching behavior in smoothly varying deteriorating models. Applications of these models to random vibration analysis modeling via simulation and equivalent linearization techniques under Gaussian noise excitation is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
