“…In recent years, the dynamic responses of bolted joint structures have been extensively studied, especially on the description of the tangential friction behavior at contact surfaces, from stiffness softening [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] ], the nonlinear modeling of tangential stiffness [ [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ], and the physical modeling based on the interface topography [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] ]. Considering the inconsistency between the scales related to the energy dissipation and the overall structure, Daniel J. Segalman [ 21 ] based on the experimental values in Iwan's framework [ 22 ], presented a four-parameter Iwan model to reproduce an experimentally observed power-law relation between the energy dissipation per cycle and the amplitude of applied loads in case of small amplitude oscillatory loads.…”
