In a standard design practice, it is often necessary to assemble engineered structures from
individually manufactured parts. Ideally, the assembled system should perform as if the …

The accuracy of procedures for the analysis and design of hysteretic mechanical systems, in
which both generalized rate-dependent and rate-independent hysteretic forces have a non …

A novel metallic damper with torsional-yielding on the circular steel tube, called torsional
steel-tube damper (TSTD), is proposed in this paper. Four specimens are designed for …

In this paper, two variants of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm are employed
for the identification of Bouc–Wen hysteretic systems. The first variant is simple while the …

During the last years, several mechanics-based macromodels have been proposed to
assess the cyclic response of infilled RC frames. However, the uncertainties behind the …

This paper proposes a novel nonlinear dynamical system identification method based on the
sparse regression algorithm and the separable least squares method. To effectively avoid …

Bolted joints have been widely used in various mechanical structures. Due to the presence
of contact interfaces, the joints exhibit complex nonlinear behavior under dynamic loading …

A computational study is conducted to investigate the nonlinear response of square concrete-
filled steel tubes (CFT) subjected to constant axial load and cyclically varying flexural …

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 …

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