Hysteric material with more than 3 points

I am using a spring model and has more than 3 points. Initial portion there is resistance due to friction, and after load is greater than the frictional load, there is slip. After the slip, only there is displacement due to loading.During cyclic loading, degradation of stiffness should be based upon initial stiffness K1, after the slip. I am not able to use hysterical material because of limitation of 3 points
