This paper deals with steady-state response of the piping system with nonlinear support having hysteresis damping characteristics. Considering the energy loss for contact with a support, an analytical method of approximate solution for the beam, a one-span model of the piping system, with quadrilateral hysteresis loop characteristics is presented. Some numerical results of the approximate solution for the response curves and the mode shapes are shown. [S0094-9930(00)00204-3]
