ABSTRACT

The aim of the present paper is to derive sirr-ple closed for:nulae for the calculation of the area of the stable h,j'steresis loop. ::he derived :forrrJulae enable designers to analyze the effect o:f SOllie important parameters such as the yield stress of steel, end restraint and cross-sectional shape, ~md can serve 8S a tasis of opti:I,ization, i.e. tr.e increasing o:f the enersy-atsorbing cap!:lcity o:f braces.
