BWBNParameterEstimation

The Example file (BW_pinch.m) uses Simulink S-Function (BWBNpinch.mdl) for the pinching parameters estimation.




NOTE:

Parameters required for the non-degrading pinching hysteretic BWBN model can be divided into the following two categories — hysteretic parameters ($alpha, $ko, $n, $gamma, $beta, $Ao) and pinching parameters ($q, $zetas, $p, $Shi, $deltaShi, $lambda). Hysteretic parameters controls the shape of the curve, whilst the pinching parameters define the pinching inducing function h(z).




TIPS:

Estimates the Parameters in two steps,

1. Set h = 1 in the BWBNpinch.mdl to convert it as a Non-Pinching BoucWen Material. Estimate the hysteretic parameters ($alpha, $ko, $n, $gamma, $beta, $Ao). Set $Ao = 1 as it is a redundant parameter (See References).

2. Find the pinching parameters ($q, $zetas, $p, $Shi, $deltaShi, $lambda) by setting the hysteretic parameters as constant.
