Hsiao's brace fracture model

Post by nilz » Sun Dec 17, 2017 2:10 am

Hi dears
I work on chevron braced frames.
I am using Hsiao's model for brace fracture in this article "Seismic Vulnerability of Older Braced Frames".
https://ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1061 ... 09.0000394
or https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... ced_Frames

I want to define the brace fracture the same as fig7.b and c, but this material does not exist in Opensees. How can I define the Hsiao's fracture behavior in my chevron braced frames model?
My thesis's deadline is close. please help me.
My email address diamond.desert71@gmail.com
Best regards.
