Glossary

This page will collect the terms and conventions used throughout pySLAMMER’s documentation and source — yield acceleration (\(k_y\)), peak ground acceleration (\(k_{max}\)), the Lee (2004) foundation-radiation damping formulation, decoupled vs. coupled sliding analysis, equivalent-linear vs. linear-elastic site response, and the SLAMMER conventions inherited from the legacy Java program.

Until this page is complete, the SLAMMER verification page is the most thorough reference for terminology in context, and the API reference documents every parameter exposed by the analysis classes.
