5.5 Finite Element Results<br />

The designated name, label of geometric parameters, and hysteresis characteristic values for models<br />

with circular and square bolt pattern configuration are summarized in Tables 5-5, and 5-6 respectively.<br />

A<br />

The hysteresis results obtained from finite element analysis for the models with square and circular<br />

bolt pattern are presented in Appendix-C and Appendix-D respectively. Tri-linear model were used to<br />
