  • Link

    A object connects two , and , separated by length , suchlink joints i j Lthat specialized structural behavior may be modeled. Linear, ,nonlinearand frequency-dependent properties may be assigned to each of thesix deformational degrees-of-freedom (DOF) which are internal to alink, including axial, shear, torsion, and pure bending. Internaldeformation is then calculated from joint displacement relative to joint j i, where may be grounded to simulate a support point. To utilizeinonlinear and frequency-dependent properties, corresponding analysis

    must be defined and run.cases

    Link (F-D) relationships may be specified for each offorce-deformationthe 6-DOF to simulate:

    Multi-linear springs (uniaxial elasticity)Wen behavior (uniaxial plasticity)Kinematic, Takeda, and pivot behavior (multi-linearhystereticuniaxial plasticity)Gap (compression-only) and hook (tension-only) elementsIsolation devices (biaxial-plasticity and friction-pendulumisolators with optional uplift)

    All shear deformation is assumed to occur within a shear spring. Shear-spring location may be specified in terms of distance from joint , wherejdj2 is the major-axis shear-spring location, and dj3, the minor-axis. As such, dj2 represents the location for 1-2 plane shearing and 1-3 planebending, while dj3 is the reverse. Either translation or rotation may induce shear deformation. Each of the six springs and hinges which correlatewith internal link deformation may actually be several coincident components which form a system of springs and dashpots. F-D relationshipswithin a single DOF, or among multiple DOF, may be coupled or independent.

    Each F-D relationship is defined within a local coordinate system which is specific to that link. Links may be of zero length, as is the case withlinks grounded at support points. For dynamic analysis, numerical solution requires that , and mass moments of inertia , , and mass m mr1 mr2 mr3, be assigned to a link such that response captures translational and rotational inertia. Half of each of these values will be assigned to each jointwithin a link. Internal deformation and internal forces are then reported as output local to each joint.
