“…It has been demonstrated that the maximum plastic displacement of any elastic-plastic oscillator under any earthquake excitation can be determined through a rigid-plastic oscillator. This insight has been harnessed for the assessment of elastoplastic structural responses using rigid-plastic response spectra, which are relatively simpler to formulate compared to elastic or elastoplastic spectra [27]. The rigid-plastic response spectrum can be employed to ascertain, through appropriate formulations, a realistic upper bound for the maximum plastic displacement of any elastic-plastic oscillator during a given seismic event [28].…”

To facilitate the precise design of earthquake-resistant structures, it is imperative to accurately evaluate the impact of seismic events on these constructions and predict their responses. OpenSeismoMatlab, a robust, free ground motion data processing software, plays a pivotal role in this endeavor. It empowers users to compute a wide array of outcomes using input acceleration time histories, encompassing time histories themselves, as well as linear and nonlinear spectra. These capabilities are instrumental in supporting structural design initiatives. This study provides a comprehensive exposition of the latest version (v 5.05) of OpenSeismoMatlab. It delves into intricate facets of the software, encompassing a detailed exploration of the input and output variables integral to each operational category. Comprehensive calculation flowcharts are presented to elucidate the software’s organizational structure and operational sequences. Furthermore, a meticulous verification assessment is conducted to validate OpenSeismoMatlab’s performance. This verification entails a rigorous examination of specific cases drawn from existing literature, wherein the software’s outcomes are rigorously compared against corresponding results from prior studies. The examination not only underscores the reliability of OpenSeismoMatlab but also emphasizes its ability to generate outcomes that closely align with findings documented in the established body of literature. Concluding the study, the paper outlines potential directions for future research, shedding light on avenues where further development and exploration can enhance the utility and scope of OpenSeismoMatlab in advancing seismic engineering and structural design practices.
