Bouc-Wen model of hysteretic damping

In this work we consider the dynamics of a mechanical system under external force with a damping part taking into account the hysteretic nature of the damper. As a mathematical base of the hysteretic damper we use the Bouc-Wen model. The simulation results in the form of the force-transfer function and demonstrates the “efficiency” of the hysteretic damper in comparison with the nonlinear viscous damper.
