The variation of earthquake input energy with characteristics of various structural systems, particularly in hysteretic states, has not been studied to such extent that creates enough con-fidence for proposing energy-based design criteria. In this paper, at first, based on a somehow new insight into the concept of earthquake input energy, two concepts of ‘Received Energy’ (ERec) and ‘Returned E...

The combination of non-linear control and linear control proposed in [1] provides very fast transient response (voltage step from 1 V to 1.5 V in 2 μs). This non-linear control is based on hysteretic control of the Cout current. This system is very sensitive to effects like aging, temperature, input and output voltage variation, etc., that modify the switching frequency. This paper proposes a f...

In this paper the semi-active control is achieved by a base isolation system. The magnetorheological dampers (MRD) hysteretic force is described by models based on nonlinear differential equation Bouc-Wen. The Bouc-Wen model is able to capture, in an analytical form, a range of shapes of hysteretic cycles which match the behavior of a wide class of nonlinear systems. In order to reduce the seis...

To investigate the seismic behavior of end-plate connection semi-rigid space steel frames, three 1/4-scale specimens were tested under cyclic load. Finite element analysis which took initial geometric imperfections into consideration was also conducted, and the results conform to experimental results. The failure modes, hysteretic behavior, deformation capacity and energy-dissipation capacity o...

We investigated a model for the neural integrator based on hysteretic units connected by positive feedback. Hysteresis is assumed to emerge from the intrinsic properties of the cells. We consider the recurrent networks containing either bistable or multistable neurons. We apply our analysis to the oculomotor velocity-to-position neural integrator that calculates eye positions using the inputs t...

This paper investigates periodic bifurcation solutions of a mechanical system which involves a van der Pol type damping and a hysteretic damper representing restoring force. This system has recently been studied based on the singularity theory for bifurcations of smooth functions. However, the results do not actually take into account the property of nonsmoothness involved in the system. In par...

In the present work, hysteresis is simulated by means of internal variables. Analytical models of different types of hysteresis loops enable reproduction of major and minor loops and provide good agreement with experimental data. Using an effective algorithm based on the analysis of wandering trajectories, an evolution of chaotic behavior regions of oscillators with hysteresis is presented in v...
