A Bouc‐Wen Type Hysteretic Plane Stress Element

J. Eng. Mech.

Issue Date: August 2011

In this work, a plane stress element is proposed for the elastoplastic dynamic analysis of two dimensional structures exhibiting hysteretic behavior. The Constant Strain Triangular element formulation for the elastic case is modified by introducing the Bouc‐Wen hysteretic model, properly defined in the 2‐D stress‐strain space. Solutions are obtained by simultaneously solving two sets of governing equations; namely the global equilibrium equations and the local constitutive equations, using a predictor‐corrector differential equation solver.
