Structural vibration is a widespread issue occurred in the field of civil engineering. The
passive energy dissipation devices are being increasingly popular for protecting structures …

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 study, the demountable-metallic-corrugated-shear-panel damper (DCSPD) were
investigated experimentally and numerically. Based on the quasi-static cyclic loading …

In this paper a new bracing system that consists of U-shaped elements as energy dissipation
devices is introduced. The proposed bracing system can be considered as a hysteretic …

Unfilled and carbon black filled natural rubber have attracted considerable attention and
have been extensively used as a novel construction material in civil infrastructure …

Bouc–Wen (BW) model is commonly used to model lead rubber bearings (LRBs) in
seismically isolated buildings. However, the original BW model violates the Drucker's or …

In this work, an improved calculation procedure based on an explicit time integration method
is formulated for structural seismic response analysis. The mathematical derivation and …

In this study, an explicit time integration scheme based on cubic B-spline interpolation
strategy and momentum corrector is extended for structural seismic response analysis. The …

The seismic performance of steel frames equipped with a particular type of bending
dissipative braces (BDBs) having U elements, which has recently been introduced and …

The purpose of this article is to describe the Bouc–Wen model of hysteresis for structural
engineering which is used to describe a wide range of nonlinear hysteretic systems, as a …
