Peak Inelastic Displacement of Bilinear Systems in Support of Performance-Based Wind Design
Buildings, 2023 A fundamental notion in building engineering is the equal displacement rule, which posits that the peak inelastic displacement of a system subjected to a ground motion excitation is approximately equal to the displacement of the same system responding ...
