Abstract
This paper is an extension to the parametric elastic storey
model, which includes both non-linear elastic, inelastic and
hysteretic behaviour. Using a multidimensional Taylor series
expansion, the linear elastic stiffness matrix for a storey is
extended and developed to include parametric storey
nonlinearity. This includes a quadratic hypersurface elastic
storey non-linearity, which is used to model the process of
deforming. A single nonlinear parameter used in defining this
model is shown to be a function of reduction factor and
natural frequency. A yielding criterion is defined. A
hyperplane is used for undeforming resulting in hysteretic
behaviour. The computational algorithm is described.
Numerical results from the seismic studies are presented.
