Categorization of Dynamic Loading Into Force-Controlled Loading and Displacement-Controlled Loading

Abstract

To investigate the behavior of inelastic single-degree-of-freedom systems, the maximum restoring forces and maximum deformations of the systems due to a harmonic excitation are calculated and drawn as a diagram. These systems have restoring forces characterized by bilinear skeleton curve of the kinematic hardening type. The diagram shows two types of characteristics, and the dynamic loadings can be categorized into force-controlled loading and displacement-controlled loading.
