Shows modeling of one-dimensional inelastic material behavior and indicates how various hysteretic models fit into this framework. Two versatile hysteretic models for inelastic behavior of macro-models of structural components -- a polygonal model and a smooth model -- have been developed. These models have the capability of simulating deteriorating behaviour of strength, stiffness and bond slip
