The development of an interface, non-associative, plasticity model for bond between ribbed, steel bars and concrete is discussed. The model relates average local slip and radial dilation to average bond shear stress and radial confinement stress. The model partially accounts for the response of the

β¦ Synopsis
Since it is not economical to design structures to respond to earthquake loads in their elastic range, dissipation of energy by post-elastic deformation has been recommended. This requires an understanding of the hysteretic behaviour of structural members. A mathematical model is proposed for the hysteretic response of steel members. The model is based on a pre-de"ned skeleton curve, and consists of a linear and a non-linear region. The linear region is twice the elastic length on the skeleton curve, while the non-linear region is formed by superimposing an elliptical dissipation function on the skeleton curve. The shape of the proposed dissipation function and the hysteretic loops are compared with experimental results. Good agreement has been noted. Furthermore, it is shown that sti!ness degradation can be easily incorporated in the model. While the model can currently by used in the analysis of accumulated damages for steel structures, it has the potential to be extended to reinforced concrete structures, as well.

## Abstract Recent studies of the substellar population in the Taurus cloud have revealed a deficit of brown dwarfs compared to the Trapezium cluster population (BriceΓ±o et al. 1998; Luhman 2000; Luhman et al. 2003a; Luhman 2004) However, these works have concentrated on the highest stellar density
The main purpose of this paper is to incorporate a reΓΏned hysteresis model, viz., a vector Preisach model, in 2-D magnetic ΓΏeld computations. Two complementary formulations, based either on the scalar or on the vector potential, are considered. The governing Maxwell equations are rewritten in a suit
