This command is used to construct a Triple Friction Pendulum Bearing element object. The element is a 3-dimensional triple friction pendulum bearing (TPB) (Figure 1) element with variable friction coefficient model [1] [2]. The element accounts for the vertical-horizontal coupling and the bidirectional coupling in horizontal behavior. The friction coefficient model is a general model that accounts for the variation of friction coefficient on velocity and vertical force. Other simplified friction coefficient models such as vertical-force-independent friction coefficient, velocity-independent friction coefficient and constant friction coefficient can also be defined. The element can also be used for modeling single friction pendulum bearings or double friction pendulum bearings by simplifying the general backbone curve of the TPB.
