This model is called a “non-degrading” model since the stiffness of each branch of the model
does not change as damage is accumulated.
The work dissipated per cycle WD is the area of a hysteresis loop with max and min displace-
ments xmax and −xmax . The work dissipated is the product of the lengths of line segments IJ

Note that:
• The equivalent viscous damping ratio ζeqv is proportional to the energy dissipated per
cycle WD .
• The equivalent viscous damping ratio ζeqv is inversely proportional to k, x2max and
(ω/ωn ).
• The equivalent viscous damping ratio ζeqv is maximized for ductility for xmax /xy between
2 and 3.
• The largest equivalent viscous damping ratio ζeqv is around 0.25 for elastic-plastic sys-
tems (k2 = 0).
q
• The natural frequency of the hysteretic system k̄/m decreases with ductility, xmax /xy .
• k̄/k1 = 1 − WD
• The secant stiffness “k̄” and frequency ratio, “(ω/ωn )” for a hysteretic system are not
precisely defined . . .
• So the manner in which ’equivalent viscous damping ratio’ is ductility- dependent is
somewhat subjective.
Project idea . . . Evaluate the equivalent viscous damping of bilinear hysteretic systems as a
function of ductility and k2 /k1 using the impulse response of the hysteretic system and the
logarithmic decrement. Method for project . . . Simulate free response of a SDOF bilinear
hysteretic oscillator. For each cycle:
