Abstract

Hysteretic models with slip are frequently used to predict the non-linear behaviour of many structural systems, for example wood buildings and reinforced concrete structures. A model, called SL model, which can describe the pinching of most practical hysteresis loops perfectly was proposed by Baber and Noori. This model is characterised by control parameters that have to be identified from observed experimental data. A method of estimating the parameters of SL model on the basis of input–output data based on Bayesian state estimation and bootstrap filter is suggested in this paper, which has the great advantages of being able to handle any functional non-linearity and system and measurement noise of any distribution. A numerical simulation shows its suitability and effective for the system even in the case of very severe material non-linearity.
