Abstract The Bouc–Wen (BW) model is a successful differential equations model used to
describe a wide range of nonlinear hysteretic systems. However, it is unable to describe …

In this work, a consistent smooth Bouc–Wen-type degrading hysteretic model is presented
which incorporates stiffness degradation, strength deterioration, pinching, asymmetric …

This paper presents a smooth hysteresis model for reinforced concrete (RC) structural
elements based on the differential equation of the Bouc–Wen model. Stiffness degradation …

Hysteretic models are frequently used to predict the non-linear behavior of reinforced
concrete structural systems. Such models are typically characterized by control parameters …

Most of the published literature concerned with the parameter estimation of the Bouc–Wen
model of hysteresis via evolutionary algorithms uses a single objective function (the mean …

In this work, the response and dissipated energy of the well-known Bouc–Wen model are
examined in detail. New analytical and numerical solutions are derived using a generic …

The versatile Bouc–Wen model has been used extensively to describe hysteretic
phenomena in various fields of engineering. Nevertheless, it is known that it exhibits …

All structures degrade when acted upon by cyclic forces associated with earthquakes, high
winds, and sea waves. Identification and prediction of degradation is thus a problem of …

Hysterisis is a system property that is fundamental to a range of engineering applications as
the components of systems with hysterisis are able to react differently to different forces …
