Critical input and response of elastic-plastic structures under long-duration earthquake ground motions

The multiple impulse input is introduced as a substitute of the long-duration earthquake ground motion, mostly expressed in terms of harmonic waves, and a closed-form solution is derived of the elastic-plastic response of a single-degree-of-freedom structure under the ‘critical multiple impulse inpu...
