Using Bézier curves to model gradual stiffness transitions in nonlinear elements Application to self-centering systems.
A number of techniques are available for modelling nonlinear elements, but most available hysteretic rules do not capture the gradual stiffness changes that are typical of physical systems. In particular, there has not previously been a hysteretic rule with rounded hysteretic corners that could be u...
