Simplified Hysteretic Finite-Element Model for Wood and Viscoelastic Polymer Connections for the Dynamic Analysis of Shear Walls.

This paper presents a simplified methodology of modeling the complex hysteretic behaviors of wood sheathing connections using basic elements found in commercially available finite-element analysis software. By combining these basic elements, customized connection elements that often require extensiv...
