Abstract
The transient response of single-degree-of-freedom systems with bilinear hysteresis is discussed. The application pertains to structures of strain hardening material. It is shown that the response of a linear strain hardening inelastic system is enveloped by the corresponding elastic and elastic-perfectly plastic systems, which are limiting cases of the general problem. It is further noted that in the presence of strain hardening, maximum displacement is contained regardless of the duration of applied load, and increases almost linearly with the magnitude of the applied load.
