On the estimation of hysteretic energy demands for SDOF systems.

Based on a statistical study of the dynamic response of single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems subjected to earthquake ground motions, a rule to estimate hysteretic energy demands is proposed. Expressions for elastic?perfectly plastic, stiffness degrading and pinching SDOF systems were obtained. Th...
