An experimental and theoretical investigation into the influence of hysteretic damping on the dynamic behavior of a three-beam structure

<p>In this thesis, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the linear and nonlinear dynamic behavior of a frame structure, which frequently occurs in engineering applications. The structure consists of three continuous steel beams that are connected by two brass hinges. Experimental mo...
