A General Hysteresis Model for Wood Structures

by G. C. Foliente,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Structural Engineering in Natural Hazards Mitigation

Abstract:

To predict the dynamic response of a wood structure, its energy dissipation mechanism and hysteresis behavior must be appropriately modeled. This paper presents a new hysteresis model for wood joints and structural systems that is based on a modified endochronic theory. This model incorporates experimentally observed characteristics such as nonlinearity, strength and stiffness degradation and pinching and is in a form suitable for both deterministic and random vibration analyses. Its capability is demonstrated under cyclic loading.
