Self-centering with asymmetric backbone

Post by giovannimilan » Sat Nov 11, 2017 3:50 am

Hi all,

I trying to model a rocking behavior with non-lin rotational springs. The flag-shape model (Self centering) is the way to go, but I would need to have different yielding force in the 2 direction.

Has anyone worked in something similar? Suggestions in an eventual coding procedure?

Cheers,
