The simple bridge simulation was performed in ABAQUS to evaluate the seismic response using Lead Rubber Bearings. The bearings were modeled using connector elements in Abaqus. I tried to enter the bilinear experimental data in Plastic behavior (Kinematic Hardening) half cycle data option in Abaqus. After simulation i obtained this irregular shape hysteresis. The hysteresis is constructed with reaction force and displacement at the Lead Rubber Bearing node.

Please see the attached pictures.

Thank you
