Introduction to the Ramberg–Osgood’s Material Model:

In earthquake engineering, Ramberg–Osgood functions are often used to model the behavior of structural steel materials and components. These functions are obtained when the power is normalized to an arbitrary strain, ε0, for which the plastic component of the strain, εplastic, is not zero. Generally the yield strain, εy, provides a good choice for normalization of strain, the Ramberg–Osgood function is expressed as [1]:

Where E0 is the initial elastic modulus and σ0 is equal to Eε0.

More explanation about parameter “a” (yielding offset)

The value “a” which is equal to ασ/E_0 can be seen as a yield offset, as shown in Fig.1. This comes from the fact that


when σ=σ0.


Accordingly (see Fig.1):

Values for α can also be found by means of fitting to experimental data, although for some materials, it can be fixed in order to have the yield offset equal to the accepted value of strain of 0.2%, which means [2]:
