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]
