Computational Comparison of Performance of Different Steel Plate Shear Yielding Dampers
Buildings, 2023 The computational modeling of hysteretic dampers is a powerful tool for design, allowing us to predict and optimize damper performance. In this research, a numerical model, based on Chaboche’s nonlinear kinematic hardening constitutive law, was ...
