Hysteretic Features of Low Yield Point Steel and its Influence on Shear Plate Damper Behavior

Abstract:

The hysteretic features of low yield point steel LYP100 is experimentally studied by using very short coupons under cyclic tension and compression till to the strain amplitude of ±8%. The features of this steel are compared with commonly used low carbon steel and low alloy steel in structural construction. It is shown that with the increase of strain amplitudes under cyclic loading condition the hardening effect is more distinguished in the case of LYP steel than that of the commonly used structural steel. When the shear plate damper is made of LYP steel, its behavior is largely affected by the material hysteretic features.
