This command is used to construct a uniaxial Bouc-Wen smooth hysteretic material object that incorporates pinching.
| uniaxialMaterial BWBN $matTag $alpha $ko $n $gamma $beta $Ao $q $zetas $p $Shi $deltaShi $lambda $tol $maxIter |
| $matTag | integer tag identifying material |
| $alpha | ratio of post-yield stiffness to the initial elastic stiffenss (0< <math>\alpha</math> <1) |
| $ko | initial elastic stiffness |
| $n | parameter that controls transition from linear to nonlinear range (as n increases the transition becomes sharper; n is usually grater or equal to 1) |
| $gamma $beta | parameters that control shape of hysteresis loop; depending on the values of <math>\gamma</math> and <math>\beta</math> softening, hardening or quasi-linearity can be simulated (look at the BoucWen Material) |
| $Ao | parameter that controls tangent stiffness |
| $q $zetas $p $Shi $deltaShi $lambda | parameters that control pinching |
| $tol | tolerance |
| $maxIter | maximum iterations |
