This command is used to construct a uniaxial Bouc-Wen smooth hysteretic material object. This material model is an extension of the original Bouc-Wen model that includes stiffness and strength degradation (Baber and Noori (1985)).

uniaxialMaterial BoucWen $matTag $alpha $ko $n $gamma $beta $Ao $deltaA $deltaNu $deltaEta

$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 NOTES)
$Ao $deltaA parameters that control tangent stiffness
$deltaNu $deltaEta parameters that control material degradation (parameter $deltaEta also controls yielding strain)


NOTES:

  1. Parameters <math>\gamma</math> and <math>\beta</math> are usually in the range from 0 to 1. Depending on the values of <math>\gamma</math> and <math>\beta</math> softening, hardening or quasi-linearity can be simulated. The hysteresis loop will exhibit softening for the following cases: (a) <math>\beta + \gamma > 0 and \beta - \gamma > 0</math>, (b) <math>\beta+\gamma >0 and \beta-\gamma <0</math>, and (c) <math>\beta+\gamma >0 and \beta-\gamma = 0</math>. The hysteresis loop will exhibit hardening if <math>\beta+\gamma < 0 and \beta-\gamma > 0</math>, and quasi-linearity if <math>\beta+\gamma = 0 and \beta-\gamma > 0</math>.
