A cyclic loading test was carried out on a wire-cable vibration isolator to
obtain experimentally its hysteretic behaviour in shear, roll and tension-
compression respectively. In shear and roll modes, the isolator exhibits sy
mmetric soft-hardening hysteresis loops under cyclic loading, namely the hy
steresis loops display a softening stiffness in relatively small deformatio
ns and diverge to exhibiting a hardening stiffness at large deformation lev
els. In the tension-compression mode, the isolator exhibits asymmetric hyst
eresis loops, which constitute a segment of a hardening overlapping envelop
e in the loading curves. In recognizing the inapplicability of existing hys
teretic models, two improved Bouc-Wen models are proposed within the framew
ork of the mathematical Duhem hysteresis operator, to represent the symmetr
ic soft-hardening hysteresis loops and the asymmetric hysteresis loops with
a hardening overlapping envelope respectively.
