Hysteresis
Properties
Hyst. Model: Select the Hysteretic model of the steel damper.
Initial stiffness (K0): Enter the initial stiffness of the steel damper.
Yield
Strength
P1: Enter the first yield strength of the steel damper.
P2: Enter the second yield strength of the steel damper.
Stiffness Factor
α1: Stiffness coefficient after first yielding in compression and tension side. (It is defined as α1 * K0.)
α2: Stiffness coefficient after second yielding in compression and tension side. (It is defined as α2 * K0)
Hysteresis Parameters
β : Exponent in Unloading stiffness Calculation.
Multi-shear Spring (Dy-Dz)
n: Input a number of Shear Springs. It is used for considering the direction of seismic load. The more shear springs, the more accurate results can be obtained in various directions.
