4.2.6.9. YamamotoBiaxialHDR ElementΒΆ

This command is used to construct a YamamotoBiaxialHDR element object, which is defined by two nodes. This element can be used to represent the isotropic behavior of high-damping rubber bearing in the local y-z plane.

element('YamamotoBiaxialHDR', eleTag, *eleNodes, Tp, DDo, DDi, Hr, <'-coRS`, cr, cs>, <'-orient`, *vecx, *vecyp>, <'-mass`, m>)

eleTag (int)

unique element object tag

eleNodes (list (int))

a list of two element nodes

Tp (int)

compound type = 1 : X0.6R manufactured by Bridgestone corporation.

DDo (float)

outer diameter [m]

DDi (float)

bore diameter [m]

Hr (float)

total thickness of rubber layer [m] Optional Data

cr cs (float)

coefficients for shear stress components of tau_r and tau_s

vecx (list (float))

a list of vector components in global coordinates defining local x-axis (optional)

vecyp (list (float))

a list of vector components in global coordinates defining vector yp which lies in the local x-y plane for the element.

m (float)

element mass [kg]
