It is found that the required hole-to-ligament width ratio decreases as a function of the material ductility and increases as a function of the strain hardening exponent.
A new pattern is proposed that is a function of the period of the structure and the target ductility.
The phases of damage were considered using the probabilistic analysis of vulnerability and reliability: slight, moderate, extensive and complete, as a function of system ductility.
A design method for calculation of the SF volume ratio, as a function of required ductility, is proposed.
A FEA based methodology is shown to identify the optimal specimen geometry as a function of the material's ductility and strain hardening.
The fragility curves for near-fault and far-field sources represent limit states of behavior as a function of the displacement ductility demands on columns.
Also Ductility reduction factor Rμ is a function of both of the characteristics of the structure including ductility, damping and fundamental period of vibration (T), and the characteristics of earthquake ground motion.
The mechanical properties vary within a wide range of strength and ductility as a function of the quasicrystal volume fraction and their morphology.
The softening point, viscosity and ductility of the modified asphalts were tested as a function of clay content and clay type.
As the web slenderness and axial load have significant effects on the cyclic behavior and ductility of the FCS beam-columns, a new web seismically compact limiting ratio is proposed for FCSs as a function of the axial load to provide the desired ductility.
