Shape memory alloy (SMA)-based seismic isolation systems can successfully reduce the
peak and residual displacements of bridges during strong earthquake, but they commonly …

Locally resonant metamaterials leveraging shape memory alloy (SMA) springs are explored
in this work in an effort to develop adaptive metamaterial configurations that can exhibit …

The dynamic responses of spatial lattice shell structures with friction pendulum bearings
(FPBs) under multidimensional seismic excitations are complex. In addition, FPBs may …

Abstract Adaptive Negative Stiffness Device (ANSD) has been developed recently for
passive vibration control of structures. ANSD emulates negative stiffness behavior (by …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) gained increasing attentions from the perspective of seismic
protection, primarily because of their excellent superelasticity, satisfactory damping and high …

Smart materials such as shape memory alloys have unique material properties that can
potentially mitigate earthquake hazards on the built environment. Implementation of shape …

The use of supplemental damping for mitigation of seismic hazard of adjacent building
structures is proven to be a practical and efficient way. In developing an efficient …

Fe-based superelastic alloys, which show both superelasticity and high damping capacity,
can be divided into four alloy systems based on the characteristics of the martensite …

The effects of the pseudoelastic hysteresis of shape memory alloy springs on the aeroelastic
behavior of a typical airfoil section are numerically investigated for six different sets of alloy …
