The tuned vibration absorber (TVA) is a well-established passive vibration control device for
achieving vibration reduction of a primary system subjected to external excitation. This …

A new framework for development of order 3.0 weak Taylor scheme towards stochastic
modeling and dynamics of coupled nonlinear systems is presented. The proposed method is …

Smart materials have a growing technological importance due to their unique
thermomechanical characteristics. Shape memory alloys belong to this class of materials …

Smart material systems and structures have remarkable properties responsible for their
application in different fields of human knowledge. Shape memory alloys, piezoelectric …

In this two-part paper the problem of evaluating robustness and strength of chaos in
thermomechanically-based Shape Memory Oscillators (SMO) is addressed. In the first part, a …

The applicability of the soft and hard impact models in modeling of vibro-impact systems is
discussed in the paper. We derive the conditions which allow the same rate of energy …

In this paper we study bifurcations of an impact oscillator with one sided SMA motion
constraint. The excitation frequency is used as a bifurcation parameter and two different …

Shape memory materials exhibit strong thermomechanical coupling, so that temperature
variations occur during mechanical loading and unloading. In previous works the nonlinear …

Shape memory oscillators are thermomechanical hysteretic systems that, in a wide range of
model parameters, can exhibit complex non-periodic non-linear dynamic responses under …

This contribution deals with the analysis of a rotordynamic nonsmooth shape memory alloy
(SMA) system. The rotor–bearing system is modeled as a Jeffcott rotor with two-degrees of …
