Abstract

This paper presents a new Stiffness Relaxation method of the classic Bouc-Wen hysteresis model, used to simulate the hysteresis loop of Romanian friction dampers SERB-C-194 in seismic analysis of buildings equipped with this type of seismic dampers. The classic model does not accurately simulate the hysteresis loop of friction dampers because it keeps constant the stiffness of the damper as its stroke increases. Friction dampers are devices that strengthen the stiffness as the damper stroke increases. The proposed new method aims to simulate a stiffer damper but which is affected by the phenomenon of Stiffness Relaxation. Such methods have been proposed by Sivaselvan and Rheinhorn [1, 2] which have introduced a Stiffness Relaxation factor Rk which only works for the situations of continuous increase of the damper stroke. Our method offers a way to solve this problem by an “envelope” of the damper displacements. In this case the hysteresis loops of the new model are in accordance with the real situation observable in the hysteresis loops obtained experimentally. The new differential hysteresis model was implemented in the HistPlot program developed by the authors and is useful in determining the parameters of the differential model for simulating experimental hysteresis loops. This improved model is further used for earthquake dynamic simulation of buildings equipped with anti-seismic dampers using the GenEcAm program developed by the authors.
