Analysis
of 2-D Frames:
HYST
has been implemented in a general
static or dynamic analysis for frames.
The
previous figure shows a simple column (inverted
pendulum) connected at its base by means of pins
(dowels) through steel plates. The analysis
program, FRAME, can be used to obtain the static
response of the structure or its time history
response when the base is excited by an
earthquake. HYST is implemented to calculate, at
each time step, the hysteretic response of each
pin.

FRAME
can be utilized to obtain similar responses for a
complete two-dimensional frame structure, with
connections either by pins or nailed/bolted gusset
plates.
