February 1983 – Present
The Journal of Engineering Mechanics covers activity and development in the field of applied mechanics as it relates to civil engineering. Research on bioengineering, computational mechanics, computer-aided engineering, dynamics of structures, elasticity, experimental analysis and instrumentation, fluid mechanics, flow of granular media, inelastic behavior of solids and structures, probabilistic methods, properties of materials, fracture mechanics, stability of structural elements and systems, and turbulence is reported. Typically, published papers describe the development and implementation of new analytical models, innovative numerical methods, and novel experimental methods and results.

Research Highlights
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.
