This program can be used for the identification of SDoF Bouc-Wen hysteretic systems. Identification is performed by a new evolutionary algorithm that is based on bounding of the feasible domain of model parameters. Viscous damping can also be identified based on suitable experiments. The program was developed by Aristotelis E. Charalampakis and Professor Vlasis K. Koumousis at NTUA. For more information please refer to the following paper:
