About

System Parameters

  • T: Natural period of vibration (s).
  • ζ: Viscous damping ratio (%).
  • αy: Base shear coefficient (Fy / (m·g)). Defines normalized strength.
  • Hiso: Isotropic post-yield hardening (%k). Expansion/contraction of the yield surface.
  • Hkin: Kinematic post-yield hardening (%k). Translation of the yield surface.

Methods Used

  • Time Integration: Implicit Newmark-beta method (β=1/4, γ=1/2).
  • Material Model: 1D plasticity with combined hardening (isotropic + kinematic) and bilinear law.
  • Seismic Load: Accelerogram applied at the base.
