Vacuum packed particles tend to be placed among the group of so-called ‘smart structures’. The macroscopic mechanical features of such structures can be controlled by the partial vacuum parameter. The authors consider an application of Bouc-Wen model in order to represent the dynamic behaviour of the investigated device. The verification of the model response with experimental data is discussed. The Bouc-Wen model parameters identification is described.}, type={Article}, title={Preliminary research of a symmetrical controllable granular damper prototype}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/123041/PDF/2183_BPASTS_2022_70_3.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpasts.2022.141002}, keywords={granular materials, Vacuum Packed Particles, Bouc-Wen model, hysteresis loop, experimental results, model identification}, }
