β¦ Synopsis
Plastic displacements of a Gaussian white noise excited three degrees of freedom non-ideal elasto-plastic oscillator are measured in laboratory experiments and the plastic displacements are compared to computer simulated results for the corresponding ideal elasto-plastic oscillator. The comparative analysis leads to an equivalent ideal plastic yield limit that gives good coincidence between the simulated distributions and the experimentally determined distributions.

This contribution reports on a dynamic analysis of an elasto-plastic oscillator. Kinematic and isotropic hardening are considered. The equations of motion have five state variables associated with complementary conditions. System dynamics is treated by performing a split in phase space in two parts.
The inelastic (design) spectra characterizing a seismic hazard are generally obtained by the scalingdown of the elastic (design) spectra via a set of response modiΓΏcation factors. The component of these factors, which accounts for the ductility demand ratio, is known as the strength reduction factor
In this paper, an elastoplastic analysis based on fuzzy mathematics and using finite element method will be described. The Drucker-Prager yield criterion and the elasto-plastic matrix are fuzzified for the non-linear analyses which adopt the initial stress method for the solution. A numerical exampl
